Contact tracing as a measure to combat COVID-19 and other infectious diseases

Marvin Du

Summary: Contact tracing plays an important role in mitigating the transmission of COVID-19 and other infectious diseases, especially in a small-world network. Simulation results demonstrate that contact tracing can effectively reduce and delay the peak of daily new cases, particularly by testing asymptomatic and presymptomatic individuals.

Mutations on RBD of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant result in stronger binding to human ACE2 receptor

Cecylia S. Lupala et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus has resulted in over 270 million infections and 5.3 million deaths worldwide. The emergence of the Omicron variant has raised concerns about reducing vaccine efficacy and neutralizing antibodies due to its numerous mutations. Analysis indicates that the Omicron variant binds more strongly to the human ACE2 protein, with mutations at the ACE2-RBD interface enhancing tight binding through increased hydrogen bonding interactions and enlarged buried solvent accessible surface area.

Karthika Pushparaj et al.

Summary: After the COVID-19 pandemic, mucormycosis has become a major concern globally, especially in Asian countries. Uncontrolled diabetes, comorbidities, and immunosuppression from steroid therapy are the main predisposing factors for infection. The number of cases is increasing exponentially in India and other global countries.

Dongshu Wang et al.

Summary: In this study, a complete detection system for Bacillus anthracis based on Cas12a was developed. The system can detect the bacteria with high accuracy in 90 minutes and has single-copy level sensitivity. Additionally, a visualization system for field-based point-of-care detection was created, showing promising prospects.

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

Erik Boehm et al.

Summary: Many new variants of SARS-CoV-2 have been identified as variants of concern/interest due to increased transmissibility, severity, immune escape, and reduced vaccine efficacy. These variants often share similar mutations, such as N501Y and E484K, which lead to partial immune escape, decreased vaccine efficacy, and potentially increased severity.
