SARS-CoV-2 Eris variant spreads faster and dodges immunity
Study investigates the characteristics of the EG.5.1 "Eris" variant of SARS-CoV-2, finding it more transmissible among hamsters and slightly better at evading immunity compared to the XBB.1.5 variant. The results suggest that these properties could be driving the variant's increasing prevalence in human populations.

Boosters slow antibody waning but hit a ceiling: Long-term COVID study reveals limits of immunity
The study tracks the long-term kinetics of antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 after vaccination and infections in New York healthcare workers from 2020 to 2023. It reveals that antibody waning is slower after booster shots, but there's an upper limit to antibody levels, which gradually lowers with repeated SARS-CoV-2 exposures and vaccinations.

Cracking the code on post-vaccine COVID protection
The study investigates the relationship between antibody levels and behavioral factors in 176 adults vaccinated with Pfizer's BNT162b2, finding that higher levels of specific antibodies correlate with greater protection against symptomatic COVID-19. It also suggests that current commercial assays may need reformatting for better risk prediction.
