About COVID-19 | Coronavirus Cleaning and Disinfecting
The CDC is responding to an outbreak of a respiratory disease caused by a new coronavirus (SARS Cov-2). The virus known as ‘coronavirus disease 2019’ (COVID-19) is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person or through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or an object that has the virus on it and ...

How can Nuvonis help to fight the SARS-CoV-2 pandemics?
At the end of the year 2019, a cluster of severe pneumonia of unknown cause was described in Wuhan (Eastern China) and a SARS-like acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) was noted in these patients. Early in January 2020, sequencing revealed a novel coronavirus (now termed SARS-CoV-2) as the causal factor for the disease designated as COVID-19. The pandemic caused by the virus has unforeseen ...

What are Vero cells?
Vero cellsare a continuous adherent cell line that is frequently used in cell culture and plays an important role in worldwide vaccine and vector production (manufacturing). Unlike other mammalian cells, they do not secrete interferon alpha or beta when infected by viruses – this is one of the reasons that efficient replication of many viruses can be achieved in Vero cells, ...

Ideal COVID-19 Vaccine May Come from Alpacas, New Study Found
In response to the COVID-19 caused by the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), there are currently many vaccines on the market worldwide. However, despite the fact that major manufacturers are working hard to produce vaccines, the speed of vaccination still cannot keep up with people's needs. At the same time, with the continuous emergence of mutant strains, the effectiveness of vaccines has begun to ...

When Respiratory Pathogen Metagenome Sequencing Meets Hybrid Capture Enrichment
Currently, the incidence of infectious diseases has increased globally, and the pathogens show a trend of diversification and complexity. Rapid and accurate pathogenic diagnosis, which enables early selection of sensitive anti-infective drugs or effective and targeted preventive and control measures, is the core of accurate prevention and treatment of infectious diseases. The epidemic of ...

Evaluation of the Talis One Covid-19 Test System for the Rapid Detection of Sars-Cov-2 and Emerging Variants
Introduction The discovery of a novel coronavirus in December 2019 in the Wuhan province of China and subsequent global spread has caused a pandemic of the scale not seen since the 1918 H1N1 pandemic. The novel coronavirus, classified as the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is highly infectious and causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a respiratory and vascular ...

Ozette’s AI in the battle against Covid - Case study
Summary The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic began in 2019 and rapidly scaled to a global presence of disease known as COVID-19. Despite the relatively fast implementation of testing and vaccination worldwide, the rise of emerging viral variants and breakthrough infections raises concerns that SARS-CoV-2 will continue to pose a global health threat. ...

Mysterious Deltacron, a Hybrid of Delta and Omicron?
On January 8, 2022, Bloomberg reported that Leondios Kostrikis, a professor of biological sciences at the University of Cyprus, and his team had discovered a new variant of SARS-CoV-2, named "Deltacron" because it has an Omicron-like genetic signature in the Delta genome. Deltacron, according to Kostrikis, mixes genes from Delta and Omicron and may have come from patients who had both Delta and ...

COVID-19: We all have skin in the game
Blueberry Therapeutics is a drug development company committed to finding new and improved treatments for a range of dermatological conditions affecting the skin and nails. The future and long-term effect of the global COVID-19 pandemic (caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 [SARS-CoV-2 virus]) on dermatology practice and skin health is still unknown, but here we provide some ...

Quantitative Assessment of Viral Dispersion Associated with Respiratory Support Devices in a Simulated Critical Care Environmen
Abstract Rationale:Patients with severe coronavirus disease (COVID-19) require supplemental oxygen and ventilatory support. It is unclear whether some respiratory support devices may increase the dispersion of infectious bioaerosols and thereby place healthcare workers at increased risk of infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Objectives:To ...

Using AI to Fight a Pandemic: Insilico Medicine Announces Novel Preclinical Candidate for COVID-19 Treatment
Insilico Medicine announced the nomination of a novel preclinical therapeutic candidate for treating COVID-19, designed using the generative chemistry AI platform Chemistry42. The new drug candidate is a 3CL protease inhibitor unique from existing drugs in its class because it can be rapidly produced. While this nomination is a potentially important development for the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic ...

Evolution of Anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG Antibody and IgG Avidity Post Pfizer and Moderna mRNA Vaccinations
Abstract Messenger RNA (mRNA) based vaccines (Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna) are highly effective at providing immunity against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). However, there is uncertainty about the duration of immunity, evolution of IgG antibody levels and IgG avidity (an index of antibody-antigen binding strength), and differences in the immune responses between ...

COVID-19 Disease Testing; Utilising Fluorescence During a Pandemic
While the world continues to endure loss and hardship due to the outbreak of COVID-19, caused by a novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), researchers are scrambling to provide test kits that are accurate, fast, sensitive, and widely available, especially as symptoms vary broadly and may not appear for days if at all. To this end, several diagnostic methods have been ...

Critical Factors for Proper COVID-19 Disinfection
The novel coronavirus continues to present a threat to business operations. Under the “new normal,” it’s crucial to implement higher levels of sanitation and ensure that your business can safely open. Unfortunately, there is a lot of misinformation spreading about both the virus itself and how to prevent its transmission. Here is a thorough overview of how to create an effective ...

qPCR for SARS-CoV-2 Detection and Research: Introduction, Principles, and Applications
Introduction to Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction A highly delicate technique for the amplification and identification of deoxyribonucleic acid is polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In molecular biology, its conceptual simplification has made it the most utilized method and can, in theory, identify as little as a single segment of DNA. Therefore, for a huge variety of bacterial, fungal, viral, ...

The Molecular Microbiology of SARS-CoV-2: Detection Methods and Infection Mechanism
SARS-CoV-2 is a newly discovered human coronavirus group (HCoV), which are single-stranded RNA viruses belonging to the family of Coronaviridae. A range of respiratory diseases have been induced by some of these pathogens in the past. SARS-CoV-1 infected more than 8,000 individuals around the world, for example. Human coronavirus linked to Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS-CoV) also occurred ...

Influenza A virus replication has a stronger dependency on Raf/MEK/ERK signaling pathway activity than SARS-CoV-2
The recent COVID-19 pandemic again highlighted the urgent need for broad-spectrum antivirals, both for therapeutic use in acute viral infection and for pandemic preparedness in general. The targeting of host cell factors hijacked by viruses during their replication cycle presents one possible strategy for development of broad-spectrum antivirals. By inhibiting the Raf/MEK/ERK signaling pathway, ...
