SARS-CoV-2 Omicron-B.1.1.529 leads to widespread escape from neutralizing antibody responses

Wanwisa Dejnirattisai et al.

Summary: On November 24, 2021, the sequence of a new SARS-CoV-2 variant, Omicron-B.1.1.529, was announced. Compared to previous variants, Omicron has a higher number of mutations in the Spike (S) protein. Serum neutralization of Omicron by individuals vaccinated or previously infected with Alpha, Beta, Gamma, or Delta variants is significantly reduced or ineffective. Third vaccine doses can boost neutralization titers against Omicron, and high titers are observed in both vaccinated individuals and those infected with the Delta variant. Most potent monoclonal antibodies and antibodies under development are unable to effectively neutralize Omicron due to mutations in its Spike protein. Omicron has structural changes compared to earlier viruses and utilizes mutations that enhance its binding to ACE2, allowing for immune escape. This results in a large number of mutations in the ACE2 binding site and a rebalancing of receptor affinity similar to earlier pandemic viruses.

Emerging SARS-CoV-2 Variants: Genetic Variability and Clinical Implications

Aakriti Dubey et al.

Summary: The sudden rise in COVID-19 cases in 2020 and the emergence of fast-spreading variants have created a worrisome situation worldwide. New variants with mutations that outcompete existing circulating variants are frequently reported, raising concerns about the efficacy of vaccines, increased transmissibility, immune escape, and diagnostic failures. Although not yet validated, it is believed that SARS-CoV-2 is acquiring new mutations to gain a fitness advantage for rapid transmission or to overcome immune resistance. Significant evolution of SARS-CoV-2 has been observed since its first appearance in 2019, but the impacts of these mutations in many variants have not been analyzed. This article provides a comprehensive review of the emerging variants of SARS-CoV-2, key mutations in the viral genome, and the possible impacts on current prevention and therapeutic strategies.

A Continuous Markov-Chain Model for the Simulation of COVID-19 Epidemic Dynamics

Zhaobin Xu et al.

Summary: In this study, a continuous Markov-chain model is used to predict the spread of COVID-19. The results show that the herd immunity threshold is higher than 1 - 1/R-0, and the model can predict the epidemic resurgence and hotspots, indicating the challenge of eradicating the disease in the short term. The model has the potential as an alternative to traditional models.

A MEASURE MODEL FOR THE SPREAD OF VIRAL INFECTIONS WITH MUTATIONS

Xiaoqian Gong et al.

Summary: This article introduces a new type of model, which combines ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and measure differential equations (MDE) to simulate the impact of genetic variations in the COVID-19 virus on the pandemic outbreak. Through mathematical analysis, the well-posedness of the coupled ODE-MDE system is established, and two examples demonstrate the consistency of the proposed model with the classical SIR model.

Mutations and polymorphisms in genes involved in the infections by covid 19: a review

Ait Boujmia Oum Kaltoum

Summary: Covid-19 is a multigenic and multifactorial disease, with genetic factors playing an important role in infection susceptibility. Various genes coding for proteins involved in coronavirus-cell entry and fusion, such as ACE2, TMPRSS2, and CD26, are associated with a higher risk for COVID-19.

COVID-19 Delta variants-Current status and implications as of August 2021

Flora Yu et al.

Summary: The SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant has emerged as the dominant strain of the current pandemic, showing increased infectivity/viral load and reduced neutralization by antibodies from convalescent patients/vaccinees. Although clinical cases of Delta variant infection have been observed in convalescent patients/vaccinees with less incidence of severe diseases, it can still serve as a reservoir for spreading infection to the unvaccinated population.

Sean T. McQuade et al.

Summary: This paper aims to predict the situation of COVID-19 in New Jersey using a SEIR model and proposes a more refined model, which includes measures such as social distancing, testing, contact tracing and quarantining, to minimize the economic cost of the pandemic. The proposed model allows for finding optimal strategies by implementing various non-pharmaceutical interventions and studying different scenarios and likely initial conditions.
