Study suggests aerosol transmission of antibodies may contribute to host protection against SARS-CoV-2

A new study has addressed the previously mentioned research gap and has investigated the possibility of transfer of aerosol containing SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies between vaccinated and non-immune hosts

Epidemiologic and genomic investigation of SARS-CoV-2 infections associated with two repatriation flights from India to Australia

Researchers conducted epidemiologic and genomic studies to investigate in-flight SARS-CoV-2 infection associated with repatriation flights from India to Australia in April 2021.

Long COVID is characterized SARS-CoV-2 antigen persistence in the gut mucosa

A new study published in the journal Gastroenterology used upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy to assess whether gut antigen persistence leads to post-acute COVID-19 in patients with or without post-acute COVID-19 symptoms.

3 May 2022

Prior SARS-CoV-2 infection provides substantial and sustained protection from Omicron hospitalization

A population-level study conducted on residents of the Quebec province, Canada, has demonstrated that prior infection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) induces robust and long-lasting protection against omicron re-infection and hospitalization. The level of protection further increases with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination.

Understanding how the COVID pandemic impacts childhood autism and neurodevelopmental disorders

A study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server assessed the effects and outcomes of the COVID-19 pandemic on children suffering from neurodevelopmental disorders, with an emphasis on patients of autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Schools' role in the spread of SARS-CoV-2

The Omicron wave of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)––the causative pathogen for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the current pandemic––led to rampant transmissions in schools. Therefore, the school-based viral transmission must be curtailed to reduce viral evolution and maintain children's in-person education.
