[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. Researchers’ concern about this aspect of the 2019 coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic stems from observations that the flu virus and other coronaviruses follow seasonal patterns. Understanding how SARS-CoV-2 transmissibility is affected by …

[ad_1] As the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic grows, more manifestations of viral infection emerge. Early in the pandemic, people with COVID-19 reported symptoms of fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. Later, other symptoms were added, such as loss of taste, loss of smell, and mouth injuries in children. A team of …

[ad_1] Researchers in China and the United States have called for further research on the potential prophylactic effects of natural products and herbal medicines on severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and subsequent coronavirus disease. 2019 (COVID-19). In an article recently published in the journal Frontiers in pharmacology, …

[ad_1] Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) emerged in late 2019 in Wuhan, China, and has rapidly progressed into a devastating pandemic affecting global public health and paralyzing economies. So far, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused over 55.4 million infections and over 1.33 million …

[ad_1] Since the onset of the 2019 coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, concerns about the virus’ impact on pregnancy have increased. However, there has been little professional consensus on how best to manage pregnancy during the pandemic given the limited data currently available. A recent review published in the magazine Global challenges …

[ad_1] Researchers in Korea and the United States have identified new genetic variants that demonstrate active mutational progression of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the agent that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Two of the mutations occurred in the receptor binding domain of the viral spike protein, the …

[ad_1] With an end to the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic in sight, the potential new reservoirs of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in animal populations are closely monitored. A new study published in the journal Science in November 2020 describes the probable transmission of the virus between …

[ad_1] The 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic calls for better and faster tests to ensure more accurate diagnosis, monitoring and surveillance of the disease and its spread. Serological testing is used to identify severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection after the acute phase. A new study published on …
