SARS-CoV-2 vaccine-induced antibody and T cell response in SARS-CoV-1 survivors

Li -Jun Duan et al.

Summary: Vaccination with Ad5-nCoV in SARS-CoV-1 survivors enhances antibody response against SARS-CoV-1 but has limited neutralizing antibody activity against SARS-CoV-2 variants, particularly the Omicron subvariants. However, the T cell response to SARS-CoV-2 is comparable between Ad5-nCoV immunized SARS-CoV-1 survivors and Ad5-nCoV immunized naive healthy individuals, while immunized SARS-CoV-1 survivors exhibit a robust cross-reactive T cell response to SARS-CoV-1.

An alternative to airborne droplet transmission route of SARS-CoV-2, the feco-oral route, as a factor shaping COVID-19 pandemic

Ryszard Targonski et al.

Summary: The Chinese scenario of COVID-19, with a rapid increase in infections followed by a sudden decline, is uncommon globally. The severity of COVID-19 varies greatly among different countries, and it is associated with gastrointestinal symptoms, inflammatory response, and prognosis. It has been observed that SARS-CoV-2 can be present in the gastrointestinal tract for a longer time than in respiratory swabs, which may contribute to feco-oral transmission and milder virus attenuation.

Summary: The study highlights the presence of zoonotic diseases like brucellosis, Q-fever, and Rift Valley fever in pastoralist communities and their livestock. The seroprevalence of these diseases varies among different areas and species. The One Health approach, which simultaneously considers human and animal health, is crucial for better reporting and addressing zoonotic diseases, providing benefits for human health, animal health, and financial savings. The study in the Somali region of Ethiopia is the first to establish the public health and economic importance of these zoonotic diseases in humans and livestock.
