Evolution of the SARS‐CoV‐2 omicron variants BA.1 to BA.5: Implications for immune escape and transmission
TL;DR: The theories that have been proposed on the evolution of Omicron including zoonotic spillage, infection in immunocompromised individuals and cryptic spread in the community without being diagnosed are examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.5: Evolving tropism and evasion of potent humoral responses and resistance to clinical immunotherapeutics relative to viral variants of concern

TL;DR: In this paper , the neutralisation of Omicron BA.1, BA.2 and BA.5 was investigated using low passage clinical isolates of Clade A.2.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors developed a rapid platform (R-20) for viral isolation and characterization using primary remnant diagnostic swabs, combined with quarantine testing and genomics surveillance, enabled the rapid isolation of all major SARS-CoV-2 variants circulating in Australia in 2021.
Journal ArticleDOI
SARS-CoV-2 N-gene mutation leading to Xpert Xpress SARS-CoV-2 assay instability
C. Foster,Mathew Madden,Raymond C.K. Chan,David Agapiou,Rowena A. Bull,William D. Rawlinson,S. J. van Hal +6 more
TL;DR: Galloway et al. as discussed by the authors reported a change in the performance of the GX assay, with large differences in cycle threshold (Ct) values between the E and N gene targets in a subset of delta SARS-CoV-2 samples.
Posted ContentDOI

TL;DR: In this paper , the potency and breadth of antibody neutralization responses to many emerging variants at two levels were monitored over 400,000 U.S. plasma donors over time through various vaccine booster roll outs and Omicron waves using antibody pools.
