A new study has assessed the mortality risk of patients infected with the newly emerged UK variant (Lineage B.1.1.7) of SARS-CoV-2. The findings reveal that compared to the previously circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants, the UK variant significantly increases the risk of mortality in a relatively low-risk community population.
White-tailed deer susceptible to SARS-CoV-2, finds study
White-tailed deer have been observed to be susceptible to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). They can also transmit the virus both through direct and indirect contact to one another, researchers find. The research paper is available to be read online in the
The origins of SARS-CoV-2, the underlying causative agent for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), are still unknown. Genome sequencing of the virus has so far provided evidence of an origination event in horseshoe bats. However, as no evidence can be found for direct bat-human transmission, it seems likely that COVID-19 was passed to humans through an intermediate animal host, as has been observed in previous coronavirus outbreaks.

Researchers use wastewater to monitor prevalence of COVID-19 for first time in United Arab Emirates
Early warning systems are vital in preventing surging waves of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Researchers have used wastewater samples to detect the spread of the virus in the United Arab Emirates from municipal and commercial aircraft, the first of its kind in the country, and the largest to date. The research paper is available to be read online from

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent for COVID-19, has spread across more than 114 countries worldwide. Researchers in the United States, France, and other countries have been able to identify the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in stool samples and wastewater during the first wave of the pandemic. The levels detected in these studies correlated well with rates of coronavirus spread amongst the respective regions – specifically, SARS-CoV-2 rates in wastewater systems tend
A new study describes a predictive model of protective immunity against SARS-CoV-2 infection that could help evolve optimal vaccination strategies to maintain protection and reduce the death rate.
