Infectious diseases and cognition: do we have to worry?
Age-related physiological changes, particularly immune system decline, may contribute to greater vulnerability to infectious diseases in older individuals.
Older adults and COVID-19 vaccines
What do we know so far about older adults and COVID-19 vaccines? How long does the effect of the vaccine last and how successful have countries been in vaccinating older adults? WHO’s Dr Katherine O’Brien explains in Science in 5
Pandemic Preparedness: Where Science and Policy Meet
Global collaborative response, early warning, One-Health approach, combination of interventions and good communication are key elements for a successful pandemic preparedness instrument
“Flu, COVID and RSV: How to vaccinate?” symposium at Options XI
The molecular epidemiology of multiple zoonotic origins of SARS-CoV-2
As 2019 turned into 2020, a coronavirus spilled over from wild animals into people, sparking what has become one of the best documented pandemics to afflict humans.
Mosaic RBD nanoparticles protect against challenge by diverse sarbecoviruses in animal models
The COVID-19 pandemic has been ongoing for more than 2 years now, and new variants such as Omicron are less susceptible to the vaccines developed against earlier lineages of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
Duration of immune protection of SARS-CoV-2 natural infection against reinfection in Qatar
We investigated duration of protection afforded by natural infection, the effect of viral immune evasion on duration of protection, and protection against severe reinfection, in Qatar, between February 28, 2020 and June 5, 2022.
Research explores possible link between type 1 diabetes and COVID-19
A trio of new studies from the United States and Europe explore a possible link between COVID-19 and new-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D) in children.
Human seasonal influenza under COVID-19 and the potential consequences of influenza lineage elimination
Global influenza circulation has been heavily suppressed by public health measures and travel restrictions since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Association of COVID-19 with New-Onset Alzheimer’s Disease
An infectious etiology of Alzheimer’s disease has been postulated for decades. It remains unknown whether SARS-CoV-2 viral infection is associated with increased risk for Alzheimer’s disease.
Mucosal immunity: The missing link in comprehending SARS-CoV-2 infection and transmission
SARS-CoV-2 is primarily an airborne infection of the upper respiratory tract, which on reaching the lungs causes the severe acute respiratory disease, COVID-19.
Project FluCov: understanding and communicating the impact of COVID-19 on influenza activity
Nivel is researching the impact of COVID-19 on Influenza activity combining data from around the world.
