Wildlife species show high SARS-CoV-2 exposure linked to human activity

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Communications, researchers in the United States of America analyzed 23 wildlife species for exposure to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). They investigated the effect of human activity and urbanization on seropositivity. They found the presence of SARS-CoV-2 ribonucleic acid (RNA) in six wildlife species […]

COVID-19 leads to long-term changes in the immune system, study shows

In a study recently published in the renowned journal “Allergy”, a MedUni Vienna research team shows that COVID-19 leads to considerable long-term changes in the immune system, even in mild cases. The findings could help to better understand the long-term consequences of an infection with SARS-CoV-2. As part of the study, the team led by […]

Study reveals how inflammation weakens muscles during illness

Infections and neurodegenerative diseases cause inflammation in the brain. But for unknown reasons, patients with brain inflammation often develop muscle problems that seem to be independent of the central nervous system. Now, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have revealed how brain inflammation releases a specific protein that travels from the […]

Study links common infections to enhanced COVID-19 defense in children

Analyzing nasal swabs taken during the pandemic, researchers at Yale School of Medicine suggest that the frequent presence of other viruses and bacteria may have helped to protect children from the worst effects of COVID-19 by boosting their immune systems. Their results will be published July 1 in the Journal of Experimental Medicine (JEM). Children are […]

N95 respirators potential standard of care in nursing homes and healthcare settings during respiratory viral infections

In a recent study published in eBioMedicine, researchers examined the efficiency of surgical masks, fabric masks, N95 respirators, and KN95 respirators in lowering the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) viral loads in the exhaled breath aerosol (EBA) samples of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. Study: Relative efficacy of masks and respirators as source […]

Study shows enforced masking on long flights prevents SARS-CoV-2 transmission

In a recent study published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, researchers in the United States (U.S.) conducted a systematic review to determine the factors involved in the transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) within flights. Systematic Review: The Risk of Aircraft-Acquired SARS-CoV-2 Transmission during Commercial Flights: A […]

Novel bispecific antibodies show promise against evolving SARS-CoV-2 variants

In a recent research paper uploaded to the bioRxiv preprint* server, researchers developed and tested novel bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) comprising both the N-terminal domain (NTD) and the receptor binding domain (RBD) for their efficacy against emergent severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants of concern (VOCs). These antibodies were synthesized using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) […]

Does diabetes increase the risk of long COVID?

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the causal agent of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). A recent eClinicalMedicine study investigates whether people with diabetes are more prone to develop long COVID, which is defined as the prolonged persistence of symptoms following SARS-CoV-2 infection. Study: The prevalence of long COVID in people with diabetes mellitus–evidence […]
