Journal ArticleDOI

Virus–virus interactions impact the population dynamics of influenza and the common cold

Sema Nickbakhsh, +10 more
- 26 Dec 2019 - 
TL;DR: Using computer simulations, it is found that very short-lived interferences may explain why common cold infections are less frequent during flu seasons and transient immune-mediated interference can cause a relatively ubiquitous common cold-like virus to diminish during peak activity of a seasonal virus.
Journal ArticleDOI

SARS-CoV-2 Omicron is an immune escape variant with an altered cell entry pathway

Brian J. Willett, +672 more
- 07 Jul 2022 - 
TL;DR: In this article , the authors demonstrate substantial evasion of neutralization by Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 variants in vitro using sera from individuals vaccinated with ChAdOx1, BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273.529.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influenza Virus Reservoirs and Intermediate Hosts: Dogs, Horses, and New Possibilities for Influenza Virus Exposure of Humans

Colin R. Parrish, +2 more
- 15 Mar 2015 - 
TL;DR: What is known about the role of intermediate hosts in influenza emergence is outlined, knowledge of the new canine influenza viruses (CIVs) and how they provide key new information on the process of host adaptation is summarized, and the risk these viruses pose to human populations is assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epidemiology of Seasonal Coronaviruses: Establishing the Context for the Emergence of Coronavirus Disease 2019.

Sema Nickbakhsh, +5 more
- 16 Jun 2020 - 
TL;DR: The epidemiology of seasonal CoVs (sCoVs) and other cocirculating respiratory viruses in the West of Scotland, United Kingdom is described and evidence of positive, rather than negative, interactions with sCoVs is found.

The hyper-transmissible SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant exhibits significant antigenic change, vaccine escape and a switch in cell entry mechanism

Brian J. Willett, +33 more
- 03 Jan 2022 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that immunity from natural infection (without vaccination) is more protective than two doses of vaccine but inferior to three doses, and fundamental changes in the Omicron entry process in vitro, towards TMPRSS2-independent fusion, representing a major shift in the replication properties of SARS-CoV-2.
