SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant: What we know so far

On November 24, 2021, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Omicron (B.1.1.529) variant was first reported to the World Health Organization (WHO) from South Africa.

Key to controlling COVID-19 is early intervention

A study published in the journal Royal Society Open Science demonstrates the critical role of timely intervention in New Zealand's success story. The researchers used a stochastic branching process model to simulate the trajectory of COVID-19 transmission and control during New Zealand's 2020 outbreak. They calculated the number of reported cases and deaths and the probability of elimination within a defined time frame.

Estimation of the SARS-CoV-2 infectious period

A new study focused on estimating the temporal dynamics of transmissibility of infected cases in the absence of intervention measures (unmitigated generation interval).

Bioinformatics analysis identifies pathways involved in intestinal SARS-CoV-2 infection

Researchers recently used bioinformatics analysis techniques to explore the diseases caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection in the human digestive tract.

Researchers use embryonic stem cell model to study genetic architecture in the hypothalamus

A study led by researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia has implicated several genes involved in a variety of bodily functions associated with the hypothalamus, a notoriously difficult-to-study region of the brain.

Vaccination model for endemic COVID-19

The current model is meant to provide an understanding of what might happen in the future, with periods of very low infection prevalence, interspersed between surges that have ever-lower peaks.

Study highlights racialized inequities in New York City police enforcement of COVID-19 mandates

New York City ZIP codes with a higher percentage of Black residents had significantly higher rates of COVID-19-specific criminal court summonses and public health and nuisance arrests in the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a new study by Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health.
