The Incidence of SARS-CoV-2 Reinfection in Persons With Naturally Acquired Immunity With and Without Subsequent Receipt of a Dose of BNT162b2 Vaccine A Retrospective Cohort Study

Sivan Gazit et al.

Summary: This study compared the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 reinfection in individuals with prior infection who received a single dose of BNT162b2 vaccine to those who did not. Results showed a significantly decreased risk of reinfection and symptomatic disease in vaccinated individuals. While reinfection was rare, vaccination provided additional protection for previously infected individuals.

Risk of human-to-wildlife transmission of SARS-CoV-2

Sophie Gryseels et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating impact on the world, with the causative agent SARS-CoV-2 capable of infecting various mammal species. There is a significant risk of human-to-wildlife transmission, and sanitary precautions are recommended when interacting with wild mammals to prevent the establishment of new SARS-CoV-2 reservoirs in wildlife.

Susceptibility and Attenuated Transmissibility of SARS-CoV-2 in Domestic Cats

Linlin Bao et al.

Summary: Research has shown that domestic cats can be infected with SARS-CoV-2, but the virus's transmissibility is significantly attenuated after being passed between cats, likely due to variations in the amino acids of the receptor-binding domain sites of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 between humans and cats. These findings provide insight into the transmissibility of SARS-CoV-2 in cats and offer important information for protecting the health of humans and cats.

Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in domestic cats imposes a narrow bottleneck

Katarina M. Braun et al.

Summary: The evolution of SARS-CoV-2 in mammalian hosts is influenced by genetic variation and selection mechanisms. Using domestic cats as a model, it was found that within-host genetic variation is mainly driven by genetic drift and purifying selection, with transmission involving a narrow bottleneck. A notable variant in Spike (H655Y) was identified, showing rapid emergence and transmission, possibly under positive selection, underscoring the importance of continued genomic surveillance for emerging adaptations.

Experimental re-infected cats do not transmit SARS-CoV-2

Natasha N. Gaudreault et al.

Summary: Studies have shown that cats previously infected with SARS-CoV-2 can be experimentally re-infected with the virus, but the levels of shed virus are insufficient for transmission to co-housed naive cats. Infection with SARS-CoV-2 in cats induces immune responses that provide partial, non-sterilizing immune protection against re-infection.

Vaccine Breakthrough Infections with SARS-CoV-2 Variants

Ezgi Hacisuleyman et al.

Summary: Despite evidence of vaccine efficacy, two fully vaccinated individuals developed mild symptoms of Covid-19 and were infected with variants of SARS-CoV-2. Sequencing of the virus isolates revealed novel mutations, highlighting the potential risk of illness post-vaccination and subsequent infection with variant virus. Efforts to prevent, diagnose, and characterize variants in vaccinated individuals are crucial.

Investigation of SARS-CoV-2 infection in dogs and cats of humans diagnosed with COVID-19 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Guilherme Amaral Calvet et al.

Summary: In this study, it was found that dogs and cats living with COVID-19 patients in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, could be infected or seropositive for SARS-CoV-2, with some developing mild and reversible signs of the disease. Logistic regression analysis showed that neutering and sharing a bed with the ill owner were associated with pet infection. People with COVID-19 should avoid close contact with their pets during their illness to prevent potential transmission of SARS-CoV-2.

SARS-CoV-2 Infections and Viral Isolations among Serially Tested Cats and Dogs in Households with Infected Owners in Texas, USA

Sarah A. Hamer et al.

Summary: This study investigated the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from infected humans to pets and found a higher infection rate in pets than previously recognized. The virus persisted in the pets for at least 25 days, and antibodies in infected pets remained stable or increased over time. Most infected pets were asymptomatic, and there was no evidence of antibody loss over the study period.

Anna Fagre et al.

Summary: The study found that deer mice are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 and the virus can persist for a long time in their bodies, with efficient transmission to other deer mice. This suggests the potential for sustained transmission in natural populations of deer mice.

Summary: COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, is the first known pandemic caused by a coronavirus, capable of infecting various mammalian species, leading to zoonotic and reverse zoonotic transmission. Understanding the epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 is crucial for preventing repeated human reinfections and requires a robust investigation based on One Health.

Recombinant SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid Protein: Expression, Purification, and Its Biochemical Characterization and Utility in Serological Assay Development to Assess Immunological Responses to SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Da Di et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated the expression and purification of two forms of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein N for the development of serological assays to detect SARS-CoV-2 infection, showcasing that the RNA-free form of N exhibits slightly higher sensitivity in specific detection. Furthermore, it was shown that N preferentially binds ssRNA in a sequence-independent manner and that both NTD and CTD of N contribute to RNA-binding activity.

Severe SARS-CoV-2 Breakthrough Reinfection With Delta Variant After Recovery From Breakthrough Infection by Alpha Variant in a Fully Vaccinated Health Worker

Jayanthi Shastri et al.

Summary: The study found that despite post-vaccination immunity and immunity acquired through past infection, breakthrough infections caused by Variants of Concern can still occur in COVID-19 cases. A patient in the study experienced breakthrough infections with the Alpha variant and the Delta variant, the latter resulting in severe illness even after boosting. The source of infection was established through clinical data and genetic sequencing.

Assessing the risks of SARS-CoV-2 in wildlife

R. J. Delahay et al.

Summary: The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 likely originated from wildlife, leading to human-to-animal transmission. The establishment of reservoirs of infection in wild animals poses challenges to infection control in humans and threatens wildlife welfare and conservation status. Efforts for dynamic risk assessment and targeted surveillance in wildlife are crucial for early detection and understanding the role of wild mammals in the epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2, integrating information from public and veterinary health initiatives.

Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 on mink farms between humans and mink and back to humans

Bas B. Oude Munnink et al.

Summary: Animal experiments have shown that various animals can be infected by SARS-CoV-2, with evidence of animal-to-human transmission within mink farms. Investigation into mink farm outbreaks revealed that the virus was initially introduced by humans and has since evolved, causing transmission between mink farms. Despite enhanced biosecurity measures and culling, transmission occurred between farms in three large clusters with unknown modes of transmission, resulting in a high percentage of infections among mink farm residents and employees.
