Comparing the Moderna and Pfizer-Biontech vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 infection

A new study used target trial emulation design for comparison of both the vaccines in the VA healthcare system against the risk of infection, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19.

Airborne decay of SARS-CoV-2 occurs within minutes

A new study, posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, has focused on the survival of SARS-CoV-2 in airborne droplets of cell culture medium.

SARS-CoV-2 and pepper mild mottle virus RNA highly persistent in wastewater solids

A new study from the United States (US) investigates the persistence (lifetime) of viral ribonucleic acid (RNA) under different ambient conditions within wastewater infrastructure to understand how it impacts RNA measurements and the related wastewater epidemiology.

A common cold may boost the immune system against COVID-19

A recent groundbreaking research paper published in the journal Nature Communications reveals the association of circulating SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells at exposure with lack of infection – implying the protective role for cross-reactive immune T cells in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and opening the door for second-generation vaccines that could circumvent spike-antibody immune escape variants.

Danish household study shows COVID vaccinates reduce susceptibility and transmissibility

A new study discusses the effect of vaccines against COVID-19 on the transmissibility and susceptibility of vaccine recipients to SARS-CoV-2.

Engineering higher affinity SARS-CoV-2 antibodies

A new study describes the potential of engineered neutralizing antibodies that have a high affinity for the binding epitopes.

Third dose of mRNA COVID vaccine induces strong immunity in older adults

A new study describes the beneficial effects of a third dose of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine in strengthening immunity among older adults.

Impact of post-exposure BNT162b2 prophylaxis against SARS-CoV-2 infections

In a new study, researchers determined evidence for post-exposure vaccination in reducing the mortality rate of COVID-19 and concluded that post-exposure prophylaxis successfully decreased SARS-CoV-2-associated death rates.

Withdrawing steroid treatment found to boost SARS-CoV-2 vaccine-induced immunity in kidney transplant recipients

In a new study, a team of researchers investigated the impact of the fourth dose of a vaccine against COVID-19 in kidney transplant recipients, who had not mounted a humoral immune response to three doses of vaccine.

VarLOCK approach for rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern and wastewater monitoring

A recent study discussed the expansion of the SARS-CoV-2 CRISPR-Cas detection technology (SHERLOCK) into Variant-specific SHERLOCK (VarLOCK) assays to accurately differentiate between the newly emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern.

Unraveling the early host-immune response to SARS-CoV-2 in mild COVID-19 infections

In a new study, researchers determined the early immune response to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) during mild coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in rhesus macaques.

11 Jan 2022

Exploring the kinetics of SARS-CoV-2 Marseille-4 variant

In a new study, researchers determined the nature and dynamics of mutations associated with the SARS-CoV-2 French Marseille-4 variant during 10 months from its onset, and concluded that the heterogenicity associated with a SARS-CoV-2 lineage can possibly predict the end of an outbreak.
