Clinical assessment of SARS-CoV-2 antigen rapid detection compared with RT-PCR assay for emerging variants at a high-throughput community testing site in Taiwan

Ming- Jian et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the performance of the COVID-19 antigen rapid test kit in a community testing site. The results showed high sensitivity and specificity of the test, especially in subjects with cycle threshold values <= 24. The test also effectively detected the SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.7 lineage.

Isolation and Identification of a Rare Spike Gene Double-Deletion SARS-CoV-2 Variant From the Patient With High Cycle Threshold Value

Li-Teh Liu et al.

Summary: COVID-19 is a life-threatening pulmonary disease caused by SARS-CoV-2. The virus can be transmitted through respiratory droplets. The use of cell culture for isolating the virus plays an important role in diagnosis, research, and development of antivirals and vaccines.

Kerri Basile et al.

Summary: The study found that SARS-CoV-2 culture can serve as a surrogate marker for infectivity, helping to inform de-isolation protocols. The virus was more likely to be isolated from samples collected from inpatients and ICU patients, suggesting higher infectivity in these patient populations.

Early transmissibility assessment of the N501Y mutant strains of SARS-CoV-2 in the United Kingdom, October to November 2020

Kathy Leung et al.

Summary: Two new lineages of SARS-CoV-2 with the N501Y mutation in the receptor-binding domain of the spike protein have spread rapidly in the United Kingdom. The 501Y lineage without amino acid deletion Delta 69/Delta 70 was estimated to be 10% more transmissible than the 501N lineage, while the 501Y lineage with amino acid deletion Delta 69/Delta 70 was estimated to be 75% more transmissible than the 501N lineage.

Estimating the transmission advantage of the D614G mutant strain of SARS-CoV-2, December 2019 to June 2020

Kathy Leung et al.

Summary: The study estimates that the G614 mutant is 31% more transmissible than the D614 wildtype, suggesting that interventions effective against the D614 variant may be less effective against the G614 mutant. This underscores the importance of monitoring mutant strains to adjust pandemic surveillance and disease control measures dynamically.

Chun-Han Wu et al.

Summary: This study compares the epidemiological characteristics of COVID-19 in Taiwan from 2020 to 2021, finding that the majority of cases were imported with significant differences in age, gender, month of infection, and residential area distribution. Taiwan's implementation of effective screening, quarantine, and intervention measures has further reduced the risk of local transmission.

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.

Summary: The clinical characteristics of patients with N501Y mutation in SARS-CoV-2 variants (N501YV) are not fully understood, but a retrospective cohort study found that patients with N501YV exhibited a higher prevalence of fever of 38 degrees Celsius or higher and larger lung involvement area compared to those with wild-type 501N. Other demographics and clinical symptoms did not show significant differences between the two groups.

Surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in Sewage Treatment Plants between January 2020 and July 2021 in Taiwan

Wei-Lun Huang et al.

Summary: A study in Taiwan found that using environmental sewage monitoring system for SARS-CoV-2 testing can reflect the changes in the local COVID-19 epidemic, with two positive sewage samples detected during the practice. This result is consistent with the increasing trend of COVID-19 cases in the area, and as the pandemic ebbed, the sewage samples also tested negative for SARS-CoV-2.

Household transmission but without the community-acquired outbreak of COVID-19 in Taiwan

Chen-Yang Hsu et al.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate household transmission mode and estimate basic reproductive numbers, showing an increase in infection probability and decrease in escape probability in early 2021. While the basic reproductive numbers increased without NPIs, Taiwan did not experience subsequent community-acquired outbreaks due to the effective NPIs implemented during the study period.

Tracking and Controlling the Spatiotemporal Spread of SARS-CoV-2 Lineage B.1.1.7 in COVID-19 Reopenings

Chengzhuo Tong et al.

Summary: The study found that human mobility, epidemic alert measures, and vaccination rates were important factors in the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of B.1.1.7 transmission, with regions of high human mobility and low vaccination rates experiencing rapid spread. Implementing control measures in high-risk areas and enhancing control in other regions could effectively control the spread of B.1.1.7. Additionally, increasing vaccination rates could further reduce transmission risk.

Ultrafast Sample placement on Existing tRees (UShER) enables real-time phylogenetics for the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic

Yatish Turakhia et al.

Summary: UShER is an efficient method that aids in real-time analysis of viral evolution during the COVID-19 pandemic by facilitating the addition of new SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences onto the existing phylogeny. The unprecedented accumulation of viral genome sequences is leading to a new era of 'genomic contact tracing' using viral genomes to trace local transmission dynamics. UShER addresses the challenge of placing new sequences onto the already large viral phylogeny, thus improving the speed of phylogenetic placement and data visualization for real-time contact tracing.

Philip V'kovski et al.

Summary: The study found that SARS-CoV-2 replicates more efficiently at a lower temperature (33 degrees Celsius) compared to normal body temperature (37 degrees Celsius). Both viruses were sensitive to interferon, but temperature affected the type and magnitude of interferon and pro-inflammatory responses induced by SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2.

Muh-Yong Yen et al.

Summary: The study found that 70.2% of the Taiwanese population conscientiously practiced infection prevention behaviors in 2020, with higher rates of wearing facemasks and using alcohol-based hand hygiene compared to the SARS and H1N1 periods. Women, those receiving government COVID-19 information, participants recruited from primary-care clinics, and individuals who practiced alcohol-based hand hygiene during SARS/H1N1 were more likely to adhere to preventive behaviors.

Effect of SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.7 mutations on spike protein structure and function

Tzu-Jing Yang et al.

Summary: The spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.7 variant exhibits mutations that affect virus binding to the host ACE2 receptor and immune evasion. The A570D and N501Y mutations have been shown to impact the stability of the spike protein structure, and an introduced neutralizing antibody can effectively neutralize different strains of the virus.
