Researchers conduct a SARS-CoV-2 serosurvey of blood donors in New Zealand Various strategies are being deployed across the globe to curb the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the novel causal agent of the COVID-19. This virus is highly contagious and is transmitted via primarily via respiratory droplets from infected individuals. The approaches undertaken by New Zealand have been reported to have effectively reduced the incidence of COVID-19. In New Zealand, the first COVID-19 infection was reported on Februa...
SARS-CoV-2 Induces Polyfunctional Antibodies That Kill Infected Cells Source: KTSDESIGN/Science Photo Library/Getty Images April 22, 2021 Share It is well understood that people with COVID-19 experience a wide range of symptoms. However, from asymptomatic carriers to hospitalized patients, little is known about the severity of disease and the extent and quality of the immune response.
