The seasonality of parturition and virus infection dynamics in a tropical bat population

Researchers evaluated the synchronicity of viral shedding pulses in two maternity colonies of free-tailed bats (Mormopterus francoismoutoui) in the Reunion Island of the South-Western Indian Ocean.

The QCOVID4 algorithm developed using data from the Omicron wave identifies those at highest risk of severe COVID-19 outcomes

A recent article illustrated the derivation and validation of the QCOVID4 risk determination algorithm for predicting COVID-19 hospitalization and death risk in England.

Host anti-viral factors and pathways regulating SARS-CoV-2 infection

In a new study, researchers identified host anti-viral factors and pathways regulating SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Study finds hybrid immunity or booster vaccination provides more protection against Omicron infections than full vaccination alone

Researchers evaluated SARS-CoV-2 infection, re-infection, and vaccination trajectory during the Omicron wave in the United States.

How do BNT162b2 vaccine-induced neutralizing and non-neutralizing antibodies synergize to promote protection against SARS-CoV-2?

Scientists explored the COVID-19 BNT162b2 vaccine triggered non-neutralizing and neutralizing antibody functions.

What is the importance of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination among adolescents?

Researchers estimated messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness (VE) against SARS-CoV-2 infections among Sicilian adolescents.

Researchers develop a novel method to screen publicly available raw WGS data of SARS-CoV-2

Researchers developed a novel method to screen publically available raw whole genome sequencing data of SARS-CoV-2 and identify mutations of interest more rapidly.

Mathematical model describes the simultaneous transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and multidrug-resistant bacteria

Researchers developed an epidemiological model to simulate the co-circulation of SARS-CoV-2 and multidrug-resistant bacteria in healthcare facilities during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Waning of humoral immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 after 14 months of infection

Researchers assessed humoral immune responses to and neutralization of the SARS-CoV-2 Delta (B.1.617.2) variant of concern after two months (T1) and 14 months (T2) of asymptomatic or mild wild-type (WT) SARS-CoV-2 infections.

The potential European animal hosts and reservoirs of monkeypox

Researchers investigated all the potential animal hosts and reservoirs of poxviruses, including the monkeypox virus, to inform surveillance programs and mitigation procedures.

CD98 identified as a key mediator of pro-fibrotic and acute inflammatory responses in the lung

Researchers investigated the role of the CD98 glycoprotein in inducing an inflammatory response to SARS-CoV-2 in patients of progressive fibrosis interstitial lung diseases, including the archetypal PFILD, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Acid ceramidase is a SARS-CoV-2 host factor, study says

Fluoxetine, a common antidepressant, inhibits the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus in cell cultures and in preparations from human lung tissue. This was demonstrated by researchers at Julius-Maximilians-Universität (JMU) Würzburg in the summer of 2020. However, the mechanism of this inhibition was utterly unclear, so the teams continued their research.
