Boosters slow antibody waning but hit a ceiling: Long-term COVID study reveals limits of immunity

The study tracks the long-term kinetics of antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 after vaccination and infections in New York healthcare workers from 2020 to 2023. It reveals that antibody waning is slower after booster shots, but there's an upper limit to antibody levels, which gradually lowers with repeated SARS-CoV-2 exposures and vaccinations.

Is the rapid evolution of SARS-CoV-2 in white-tailed deer complicating our fight against the pandemic?

New study reveals rapid evolution of SARS-CoV-2 in Ohio's white-tailed deer population, with a 25% seroprevalence rate. The findings suggest a significant risk of animal-to-human transmission and indicate the virus evolves faster in deer than in humans.

Could automated, saliva-based PCR testing be the future of COVID-19 surveillance?

In a large-scale study funded by Kings College London, researchers successfully implemented an automated PCR-based testing program for SARS-CoV-2 using saliva samples from asymptomatic students and staff. The system achieved 85% sensitivity and 100% specificity, provided rapid results within eight hours, and offered a cost-effective and scalable approach to community surveillance of COVID-19.
