Discover Latest #Virus News, Articles and Videos with Contenting
A novel coronavirus is a new strain of coronavirus that has not been previously identified in humans. As of this writing, there have been over seven million cases of the virus worldwide, resulting in over 400,000 deaths. The virus is believed to have originated in Wuhan, China, in late December of 2019 and has since spread to nearly every country in the world, with the United States being the hardest hit. As the virus continues to spread, there have been numerous news articles and videos discussing the virus and its effects. 1. WHO: Coronavirus – What We Know So Far This article from the World Health Organization provides an overview of all the information that is currently known about the novel coronavirus. It covers the symptoms, transmission, prevention, and treatment of the virus. It also provides information on how to protect yourself, the latest updates on the virus, and what is being done to contain it. 2. Coronavirus: A Visual Timeline This article from the Washington Post provides a timeline of the novel coronavirus, from its initial appearance in Wuhan to its spread around the world. It includes a timeline of key events, such as the first case, the first
Seasonal influenza adapted and evolved during the COVID-19 pandemic
Although travel restrictions and social measures during the COVID-19 pandemic led to a dramatic global drop in seasonal influenza cases, certain influenza lineages in specific regions kept the virus circulating and evolving, according to a new study.
Q&A: Holobiont biology, a new concept for exploring how microbiome shapes evolution of visible life
Microorganisms—bacteria, viruses and other tiny life forms—may drive biological variation in visible life as much, if not more, than genetic mutations, creating new lineages and even new species of animals and plants, according to Seth Bordenstein, director of Penn State's One Health Microbiome Center, professor of biology and entomology, and the Dorothy Foehr Huck and J. Lloyd Huck Endowed Chair in Microbiome Sciences.
Breakthrough in COVID-19 Vaccination: Single-Cycle Virus Shows High Protection and Blocks Transmission | Research Communities by Springer Nature
As COVID-19 evolves, scientists strive to develop vaccines that provide better protection against variants and stop virus transmission. This study introduces a promising solution: a novel SARS-CoV-2 vaccine that offers strong immunity and blocks transmission in the hamster model.
Engineered virus-like particles evolve for superior gene delivery efficiency
Researchers developed a barcoded directed evolution system for engineered virus-like particles (eVLPs), creating a fifth-generation (v5) eVLP with enhanced production, transduction, and gene-editing efficiency. This system could pave the way for improved gene delivery vehicles in therapeutic applications.
Vaccine Hazards and Pandemic Risks in Aotearoa New Zealand, 2021 | Research Communities by Springer Nature
This post reflects on our research on risk perception in Twitter users in Aotearoa New Zealand between August and November 2021, a period of major change in the country’s pandemic response. We found a risk nexus embedded in the vaccine and in those who refused to be vaccinated, not the virus.
New approach to stabilize RSV protein could lead to better vaccines
In most people, the lung-infecting pathogens known as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and human metapneumovirus (hMPV) trigger mild cold-like symptoms. But in infants and seniors, these viruses can cause severe pneumonia and even death.
