Study tests efficacy of molnupiravir against SARS-CoV-2 VOCs in various animal models

A study published on the bioRxiv* preprint server evaluates molnupiravir against a panel of relevant VOCs using three efficacy models: primary human airway epithelium organoids, a ferret model of upper respiratory disease, and a Roborovski dwarf hamster model for severe COVID-19.

Machine learning highly effective at identifying SARS-CoV-2 variants

Study explores adaptive immunity and neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 variants post-immunization in cancer patients

Researchers have conducted a prospective, longitudinal cohort study to analyze COVID-19 immunity in patients with cancer.

Surveillance for potentially zoonotic viruses in rodent and bat populations in an agricultural settlement in Ghana

In a new study, researchers investigated viruses in bats and rodents - key reservoir hosts for zoonotic viral pathogens, in a small agricultural community in Ghana.

Evidence from a major US metropolitan area on home testing and risk factors for acquisition of SARS-CoV-2 infection

A new study analyzed the risk factors for acquiring COVID-19 in a large, prospective cohort of adult residents in the Boston metropolitan area.

Study identifies lower viral load in the nasopharyngeal samples of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant

In a new study, researchers determined if the higher transmission rate of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant is due to a higher viral load compared to the Delta variant.

Investigating the immunology of COVID-19 infected children

Researchers published a new study that focused on the key principles of developmental immunology associated with immunobiology and the clinical impacts of COVID-19 infections in children and adults.

Study explores omicron-reactive T- and B- cell responses in COVID-19 vaccine recipients

A new study analyzes neutralizing antibodies and T-cell responses targeting the SARS-CoV-2 D614G, as well as some variants of concern.

Observational analysis of nucleocapsid and spike antibody responses post-SARS-CoV-2 infection

Scientists aimed at furthering our understanding of anti-Nucleocapsid and anti-Spike responses over time.

The effect of SARS-CoV-2 infection on pregnant mothers, the placenta, and infants

A group of scientists focussed on assessing if SARS-CoV-2 infection causes any particular histologic change in the placenta.
