Community transmission and viral load kinetics of the SARS-CoV-2 delta (B.1.617.2) variant in vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals in the UK: a prospective, longitudinal, cohort study

Anika Singanayagam et al.

Summary: Vaccination reduces the risk of delta variant infection and accelerates viral clearance. However, fully vaccinated individuals with breakthrough infections may still have similar peak viral loads as unvaccinated cases and can efficiently transmit the infection.

A phase 2a clinical trial of molnupiravir in patients with COVID-19 shows accelerated SARS-CoV-2 RNA clearance and elimination of infectious virus

William A. Fischer et al.

Summary: In a clinical trial, the safety, tolerability, and antiviral efficacy of molnupiravir were evaluated in unvaccinated individuals with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. The study found that participants receiving high-dose molnupiravir had a shorter time to viral RNA clearance and a lower detection rate of infectious virus. Molnupiravir was well tolerated across all doses.

Proportion of asymptomatic coronavirus disease 2019: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Jingjing He et al.

Summary: Approximately 15.6% of confirmed COVID-19 patients are asymptomatic. Nearly half of the patients with no symptoms at detection time will develop symptoms later. Children are likely to have a higher proportion of asymptomatic infection than adults. Asymptomatic COVID-19 patients could have abnormal laboratory and radiational manifestations, which can be used as screening strategies to identify asymptomatic infection.

Viewpoint of a WHO Advisory Group Tasked to Consider Establishing a Closely-monitored Challenge Model of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Healthy Volunteers

Myron M. Levine et al.

Summary: The World Health Organization formed an Advisory Group to discuss the feasibility, potential value, and limitations of establishing a closely-monitored challenge model of SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 in healthy adult volunteers. The report highlights the challenges in setting up a COVID-19 model and suggests prudent strategies for model development, challenge virus selection, and containment measures. While a COVID-19 model may demonstrate protection against illness induced by prior SARS-CoV-2 challenge or vaccination, its limitations include the inability to directly predict vaccine efficacy in elderly or high-risk adults based on experiments with young healthy adults.

Anosmia in COVID-19: Underlying Mechanisms and Assessment of an Olfactory Route to Brain Infection

Rafal Butowt et al.

Summary: The prevalence of smell and taste dysfunction in COVID-19 differs between populations, possibly due to differences in virus strains or host proteins. Recent progress has been made in defining the cellular and molecular mechanisms of virus-induced anosmia, focusing on the role of sustentacular cells in the olfactory epithelium. The potential for using smell and taste dysfunctions as early diagnostic tools in COVID-19 is discussed.

Quarantine and testing strategies in contact tracing for SARS-CoV-2: a modelling study

Billy J. Quilty et al.

Summary: The study suggests that testing contacts and reducing quarantine duration can be effective in limiting onward transmission of COVID-19, with potential for substantial reduction in the length of quarantine with a small excess in transmission risk. Adherence to quarantine and self-isolation, along with decreasing test and trace delays, are key factors in improving the effectiveness of these strategies. Further research is needed to evaluate the costs and benefits of implementing such strategies as policy.

Asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 Carriers: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Gopiram Syangtan et al.

Summary: Asymptomatic cases of SARS-CoV-2 play a crucial role in magnifying the transmission of COVID-19, with children and females more likely to present as asymptomatic cases. Therefore, establishing a mass surveillance system to track potential asymptomatic cases is essential, with special attention to females and children.

Dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 shedding in the respiratory tract depends on the severity of disease in COVID-19 patients

Dieter Munker et al.

Summary: The study found that upon admission to the hospital, there was no significant difference in viral shedding between severe and nonsevere COVID-19 cases. However, in the second week of hospitalization, severely ill patients showed elevated viral shedding and a prolonged inflammatory response, which were associated with a more severe disease course.

Summary: The study found that the effectiveness of the BNT162b2 vaccine in reducing viral loads of breakthrough infections decreases over time. However, this reduction in viral load can be restored by receiving a third vaccine dose.

Michael Marks et al.

Summary: The viral load of index cases is a key driver of SARS-CoV-2 transmission, while the viral load of contacts at baseline is strongly associated with the risk of developing symptomatic COVID-19 and shortening the incubation period in a dose-dependent manner.

In vivo kinetics of SARS-CoV-2 infection and its relationship with a person's infectiousness

Ruian Ke et al.

Summary: The study developed viral dynamic models of SARS-CoV-2 infection and established a model linking viral load (VL) to infectiousness. The analysis showed that VL in the upper respiratory tract is a better surrogate of infectiousness. Furthermore, RT-PCR tests performed better in detecting infection and preventing transmission, but more frequent antigen testing could provide similar results at a lower cost.

Recalibrating SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Lateral Flow Test Relative Sensitivity from Validation Studies to Absolute Sensitivity for Indicating Individuals Shedding Transmissible Virus

Irene Petersen et al.

Summary: The testing for SARS-CoV-2 internationally has largely been focused on COVID-19 diagnosis through PCR tests among symptomatic individuals, but there has been a recent shift towards using LFT for testing asymptomatic individuals in public health programs. By recalibrating relative performance statistics, the sensitivity of LFT for detecting individuals shedding SARS-CoV-2 antigens can be significantly improved.

Innate-like Gene Expression of Lung-Resident Memory CD8+ T Cells during Experimental Human Influenza A Clinical Study

Suzanna Paterson et al.

Summary: The study highlighted the suboptimal vaccine immunogenicity, antigenic mismatch, and poor uptake leading to influenza remaining a major global disease. Investigating the kinetics, phenotypes, and function of influenza virus-specific CD8(+) resident memory T cells in the lower airway, it was found that CD8(+) Trm cells in the human lung display innate-like gene and protein expression that demonstrates blurred divisions between innate and adaptive immunity.
