Contrary to prevailing belief, an evolutionary analysis finds no evidence that most viruses with epidemic or pandemic ...

In a recent study published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine, researchers identified the cellular tropism and transcriptome consequences of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS ...

I'll never understand why masking isn't required - or even just strongly encouraged - in all medical facilities, or, at the very least, in hospitals. A recent study published in the peer-reviewed ...

During the first few years of the COVID-19 pandemic, the virus SARS-CoV-2 was detected in an increasing number of non-human animal species. This included many wild animal species as well as domestic ...

Researchers have discovered that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, may be changing crucial white blood cells called neutrophils so that instead of working to destroy pathogens, they instead ...

Six years after the COVID-19 pandemic, which had claimed over 7 million lives worldwide by April 2024 (figures are no longer being tracked), we are still debating the origins of this novel virus. The ...

Two of the closest known relatives to SARS-CoV-2 — a pair of bat coronaviruses discovered by researchers in Laos — may transmit poorly in people despite being genetically similar to the ...

Mucosal antigen-specific T cells are pivotal for pathogen clearance and immune modulation in respiratory infections. Dysregulated T cell responses exacerbate coronavirus disease 2019 severity, marked ...

Nepal, March 5 -- 2003, when severe acute respiratory syndrome-1 (SARS-CoV-1) first emerged in China, it triggered a global alert, including in Nepal. I was then working as a junior medical officer, ...
