An old COVID-19 variant called A.30—which is exceedingly rare—“efficiently evades” antibodies induced by the Pfizer-BioNTech and AstraZeneca vaccines, ...

Scientists have mixed views on the variant, which a study recently called "heavily mutated" as it hasnt caused a recorded case in several months.

Biofouling — the accumulation of barnacles, plants and algae on ship hulls — is only getting worse as waters warm and as port congestion increases idle time, according to a recent I-Tech study. As it builds up, the biological material adds drag and reduces fuel efficiency, costing shippers money and releasing greenhouse gases unnecessarily. The ...

The evolution of the Delta variants is now a concern if they can develop relevant resistance to the vaccine antibody response. Researchers are concerned about how far it has evolved structures and proteins to circumvent cell defenses set from exposure to previous strains.

The number of idling vessels has roughly doubled in the past decade, in part due to port congestion, a recent study finds. Idling vessels are at higher risk of biofouling, especially in warm waters.

It seems that both Delta+ and regular Delta are still being fought off well by current vaccines.

I-Tech AB, developers of the antifouling technology, Selektope®, has signed a joint development agreement with IFF Microbial Control, providers of SEA-NINE™ 211N, and developers of the new SEA-NINE™ ULTRA marine antifouling agent technology. The two entities seek to explore technical opportunities by combining their respective technologies, which together can offer high performance, sustainable and regulatory ...

The emergence of new SARS-CoV-2 variants that can spread rapidly and undermine vaccine-induced immunity threatens the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. The delta variant (B.1.617.2) emerged in India and subsequently spread globally within a short time period. Also in Germany, almost all recent infections are due to this variant.

Die zuerst in Indien aufgetauchte Coronavirus-Variante B.1.617 kann bestimmte Lungen- und Darmzelllinien besser infizieren als das Ursprungsvirus und sie wird weniger gut durch Antikörper gehemmt. (Bild: Alexander Limbach/stock.adobe.com) Teile den Artikel Corona-Variante macht es dem Immunsystem schwer In den vergangenen Monaten sind weltweit zahlreiche Varianten des Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 aufgetaucht. Manche sind deutlich ansteckender und können sich daher schneller verbreiten. Eine davon ...
