An interesting new medRxiv* preprint reveals that with careful training, the exquisite scent sensitivity of dogs may be exploited to rule out the presence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in human beings in real-time.

Now a new preprint research paper posted to the bioRxiv* server dismisses the possibility, raised by that study, that the virus inserts its genetic material into the host cell’s genome.

The report titled “Reverse Transcriptase Market” has recently added by MarketInsightsReports to get a stronger and effective business outlook. It prov

Researchers review materials used to design biosensors for SARS-CoV-2 detection The SARS-CoV-2 virus is still causing a dramatic loss of human lives worldwide, constituting an unprecedented challenge for society, public health, and economy, to overcome. Currently, SARS-CoV-2 can be diagnosed in two different ways: i) antigen tests (point-of-care, POC) and ii) molecular tests (nucleic acid, RNA, or PCR-polymerase chain reaction). Antigen tests can detect parts of SARS-CoV-2 proteins, known as an...

Metabolic testing of COVID-19 patients through skin imprints The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), shows no sign of abating soon. In fact, the recent surge of cases caused by new and potentially more lethal variants of the virus, with immune evasion capabilities, threatens to overwhelm healthcare systems in many countries, even as vaccines are being rolled out in many. There is, therefore, a great need to understand ...

Can sniffer dogs be trained to detect SARS-CoV-2 infection? All over the world, the successive and frequently larger waves of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have made it difficult to obtain adequate supplies of the testing kits and reagents required for the gold standard of infection detection: reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT PCR). The time required to obtain a readout of the results is also long, creating transmission hazards for those with asymptomatic infection. Mean...

2 Min Read Published on: 3 hours ago Faculty and students from Loma Linda University School of Public Health have been monitoring possible COVID-19 exposure by testing wastewater on the school campus in Loma Linda, California, United States. Ryan Sinclair, professor in the School of Public Health, has applied Wastewater Based Epidemiology (WBE) as an innovative method of surveillance. Wastewater monitoring has been used historically to track enteric viruses and other pathog...

email article Dolutegravir (Tivicay)-based antiretroviral therapy in children with HIV infection was superior to efavirenz-based standard of care in the first-line setting in a prospective trial, researchers reported. In her presentation at the virtual Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections, Anna Turkova, MD, of University College London, added that in the second-line setting, it appears dolutegravir-based treatment is at least non-inferior to current treatment regimens. ...
