SARS-CoV-2 Omicron sublineage BA.2 replaces BA.1.1: Genomic surveillance in Japan from September 2021 to March 2022

TL;DR: In this article , the authors reported the impact of vaccination and pre-immunity on the proliferation of Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 across all age groups.
Journal ArticleDOI

Direct comparison of Xpert Xpress, FilmArray Respiratory Panel, Lumipulse antigen test, and RT-qPCR in 165 nasopharyngeal swabs

TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the assay performance of two nucleic acid amplification tests (Xpert Xpress SARS-CoV-2 and FilmArray Respiratory Panel) and a quantitative antigen test (Lumipulse).

Cross-Neutralizing Breadth and Longevity Against SARS-CoV-2 Variants After Infections

TL;DR: The results indicate that neutralizing antibodies that recognize the common epitope for several variants may be maintained for a long time, whileneutralizing antibodies having specific epitopes for a variant, produced in large quantities immediately after infection, may decrease quite rapidly.

Similar viral loads in Omicron infections regardless of vaccination status

TL;DR: Omicron-infected patients who had received a third vaccine dose had viral loads similar to patients with two doses or who were unvaccinated, and no correlations between age and BA.1.1 andBA.2 viral load were observed.

Risk of mortality in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 variant of concern 202012/1: matched cohort study.

TL;DR: In this article, a matched cohort study was conducted to establish whether there is any change in mortality from infection with a new variant of SARS-CoV-2, designated a variant of concern (VOC-202012/1) in December 2020, compared with circulating SARS CoV-19 variants.

BNT162b2-elicited neutralization of B.1.617 and other SARS-CoV-2 variants.

TL;DR: The authors showed that serum samples taken from twenty human volunteers, two or four weeks after their second dose of the BNT162b2 vaccine, neutralize engineered SARS-CoV-2 with a USA-WA1/2020 genetic background (a virus strain isolated in January 2020) and spike glycoproteins from the recently identified B.1.617.

Novel SARS-CoV-2 variants: the pandemics within the pandemic.

TL;DR: A review of the current knowledge of emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants, particularly those deemed VOC/Is: B.1.351, B.7, and P.1, can be found in the MEDLINE and BioRxiv databases as discussed by the authors.
