Genetic and epigenetic factors associated with increased severity of Covid-19

Zafer Yildirim et al.

Summary: The severity of Covid-19 disease is associated with host genetic and epigenetic factors, including genetic variants related to the SARS-CoV-2 entry mechanism and host innate immune response genes, as well as ABO, 3p21.31, and 9q34.2 loci. Enhanced understanding of these factors and viral interactions is critical for better prognostic tools and innovative therapeutics.

Asymptomatic patients as a source of transmission of COVID-19 in homeless shelters

Massimo Ralli et al.

Summary: This study highlights the importance of early identification of asymptomatic carriers in vulnerable settings, such as homeless shelters, to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and mitigate the potential severe consequences on individual and public health. Most positive cases in the homeless shelters in Rome were asymptomatic, underscoring the need for targeted testing and prevention measures to control outbreaks.

Pervasive transmission of E484K and emergence of VUI-NP13L with evidence of SARS-CoV-2 co-infection events by two different lineages in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

Ronaldo da Silva Francisco Jr et al.

Summary: The emergence of novel SARS-CoV-2 lineages, including B.1.1.28 (E484K), in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil has raised global concerns. Co-infection events and the identification of a new sample cluster named VUI-NP13L underscore the importance of strict and effective social distancing measures to combat the spread of potentially more hazardous SARS-CoV-2 strains.

Assessment of global asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection and management practices from China

Zheng Chen et al.

Summary: Ongoing research has shown that asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection is widespread in COVID-19 populations, with potential infectivity even before symptoms appear. Identifying asymptomatic infected individuals through nucleic acid testing is crucial in preventing disease spread, and China's successful prevention and control measures, like the "Four Early" policy, serve as a valuable model for other countries to follow.
