Vaccine effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2 reinfection during periods with different dominant SARS-CoV-2 variants

A new study found that despite a lower COVID-19 vaccine efficacy against reinfection with the Omicron variant, these vaccines demonstrate a marked efficacy against reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 Alpha and Delta variants, as well as the Omicron variant.

Immune modulator drugs improved clinical status, reduced deaths among patients hospitalized with COVID-19

A large randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial led by the National Institutes of Health shows that treating adults hospitalized with COVID-19 with infliximab or abatacept - drugs widely used to treat certain autoimmune diseases - did not significantly shorten time to recovery but did substantially improve clinical status and reduce deaths.

New discovery could lead to highly effective ways to treat influenza

It happens every year, especially in winter. A virus saunters into your wide-open respiratory tract, worms its way into lung cells, and, next thing you know, you're lying in bed with a fever, aches, and chills-;classic symptoms of influenza, or flu.

Genetically modified herpes virus can be used in the fight against cancer

Viruses can make animals and humans sick - or healthy: Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology IGB have succeeded in genetically modifying the herpes simplex virus type 1, which triggers painful cold sores, in such a way that it can be used in the fight against cancer in the future.

People with food allergies less likely to become infected with SARS-CoV-2, study finds

A National Institutes of Health-funded study has found that people with food allergies are less likely to become infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, than people without them. In addition, while previous research identified obesity as a risk factor for severe COVID-19, the new study has identified obesity and high body mass index (BMI) as associated with increased risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection.
