In the paper, Cemile Seymen of the Gazi University Institute of Health Sciences, …

[ad_1] Using cats as an animal model to study the transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the researchers determined that the virus has a narrow transmission bottleneck. The current 2019 coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by the agent SARS-CoV-2, is widely believed to be zoonotic in origin (meaning …

[ad_1] Researchers at Montana State University have validated and compared two methods of inactivating the causative agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) that would allow studying the virus at a lower biosafety level (BSL) than is currently required. The risk posed to researchers by this highly infectious agent – severe …

[ad_1] How weather changes affect severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been the subject of several studies.
