Self-injury, suicidality and eating disorder symptoms in young adults following COVID-19 lockdowns in Denmark

Stine Danielsen et al.

Summary: Using longitudinal and repeated cross-sectional data, the study found no increase in the proportion of Danish young adults with self-injury, suicidality, or eating disorder symptoms during the COVID-19 lockdown. The findings indicate a reduction in self-injury, suicide ideation, and symptoms of eating disorders in both men and women, while an increase in suicide attempts was observed in men only. However, no changes were observed in any of the outcomes in the repeated cross-sectional data. The study provides evidence against the notion of worsening mental health in relation to self-injury, suicidality, and eating disorders during the lockdowns.

COVID-19 reinfections among naturally infected and vaccinated individuals

Sezanur Rahman et al.

Summary: This study investigated the rate of SARS-CoV-2 infection and its clinical features among infection-naive, infected, vaccinated, and post-infection-vaccinated individuals. The findings showed that naturally infected populations were less likely to be reinfected by SARS-CoV-2 than individuals who were infection-naive or vaccinated. However, a significant proportion of naturally infected or vaccinated individuals were (re)-infected by the emerging variants.

Elimination versus mitigation of SARS-CoV-2 in the presence of effective vaccines

Miquel Oliu-Barton et al.

Summary: There is growing evidence that elimination strategies have been more effective than mitigation strategies in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic in terms of public health, economy, and civil liberties. With the availability of highly effective vaccines and increasing vaccination coverage, policymakers are reevaluating their options and considering the feasibility of eliminating SARS-CoV-2. Coordination, equitable vaccine distribution, and addressing concerns about new variants are key factors in achieving this goal.

Neutralization of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 Variants

Summary: Although immunity from two doses of BNT162b2 vaccine diminishes over time, a booster dose significantly enhances the neutralizing antibodies against both the BA.1 and BA.2 variants.

Increased risk of SARS-CoV-2 reinfection associated with emergence of Omicron in South Africa

Juliet R. C. Pulliam et al.

Summary: This study provides two methods for monitoring reinfection trends in routine surveillance data. The results suggest immune evasion by the Omicron variant in previously infected individuals in South Africa, and there has been an increase in the risk of having a third infection since mid-November 2021.

Antibody escape of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 from vaccine and BA.1 serum

Aekkachai Tuekprakhon et al.

Summary: The Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 has rapidly spread globally and has evolved into different sublineages, with BA.4 and BA.5 dominating in South Africa. These sublineages show reduced neutralization by vaccine and naturally immune serum, indicating the possibility of repeat Omicron infections.

Viral load dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 Delta and Omicron variants following multiple vaccine doses and previous infection

Yonatan Woodbridge et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that recent vaccination reduces Omicron viral load, but its effect wanes rapidly. In contrast, recovered COVID-19 individuals show a significantly slower waning rate. Therefore, a reassessment of future booster campaigns is needed.

Emergence of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron lineages BA.4 and BA.5 in South Africa

Houriiyah Tegally et al.

Summary: The genomic characterization of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron lineages BA.4 and BA.5, responsible for the fifth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in South Africa, reveals their continued viral diversification and sheds light on the potential mechanisms that allow these new lineages to outcompete their predecessors. These new lineages, BA.4 and BA.5, share identical spike proteins with BA.2 but have certain differences such as the presence of the 69-70 deletion, L452R, F486V, and the wild-type amino acid at Q493. They can be identified by the S-gene target failure, a proxy marker associated with the 69-70 deletion. BA.4 and BA.5 have rapidly replaced BA.2 and have become the dominant lineages in South Africa.

Neutralization of Omicron BA.1, BA.2, and BA.3 SARS-CoV-2 by 3 doses of BNT162b2 vaccine

Chaitanya Kurhade et al.

Summary: This study found that sera from individuals vaccinated with three doses of BNT162b2 have lower neutralization efficacy against Omicron BA.1, BA.2, and BA.3 compared to the original strain USAWA1/2020. The results have implications for vaccine strategy and understanding the biology of Omicron sublineages.

Estimated Protection of Prior SARS-CoV-2 Infection Against Reinfection With the Omicron Variant Among Messenger RNA-Vaccinated and Nonvaccinated Individuals in Quebec, Canada

Sara Carazo et al.

Summary: This study found that individuals who had prior heterologous SARS-CoV-2 infection and received 2 or 3 doses of mRNA vaccine provided the greatest protection against Omicron-associated hospitalization. A third mRNA vaccine dose may offer limited additional protection in twice-vaccinated individuals with prior SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Summary: Prevention of Omicron can be achieved to some extent by previous SARS-CoV-2 infection, with an effectiveness of 35% for preventing reinfection with BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants and 76% for previous omicron infection.

Protection and Waning of Natural and Hybrid Immunity to SARS-CoV-2

Yair Goldberg et al.

Summary: This study used data from the Israeli Ministry of Health database to compare the rate of infection with the time since immunity-confering events. The results showed that the protection against reinfection decreased over time for individuals who had previously been infected or vaccinated, but it was still higher than the protection conferred after the same time had elapsed since the second dose of vaccine among those who were previously uninfected. A single dose of vaccine after infection reinforced protection against reinfection.

Nucleocapsid mutations R203K/G204R increase the infectivity, fitness, and virulence of SARS-CoV-2

Haibo Wu et al.

Summary: The study found that the co-occurring mutations R203K/G204R on the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein contribute to the emergence of high-transmissibility variants with replication advantages. These variants show increased infectivity in human lung cells and hamsters, with a positive association observed between increased COVID-19 severity and sample frequency of these mutations.

Within-host evolution of SARS-CoV-2 in an immunosuppressed COVID-19 patient as a source of immune escape variants

Sebastian Weigang et al.

Summary: In a longitudinal case study, researchers demonstrate that SARS-CoV-2 variants with reduced sensitivity to neutralizing antibodies can evolve within persistently infected immunosuppressed patients. The study suggests that immunocompromised patients may serve as a potential source for the emergence of harmful variants, although immune control against these variants can still be achieved in some cases through the generation of neutralizing antibodies upon lowering immunosuppressive treatment.

Assignment of epidemiological lineages in an emerging pandemic using the pangolin tool

Aine O'Toole et al.

Summary: The global virus genomics community has responded unprecedentedly to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, leading to significant advances in 'real-time' generation and sharing of genomic data. The development of new analytical methods, such as pangolin, has been necessary to handle the rapid growth in virus genome data production. Pangolin has processed nearly two million virus genomes, aiding in SARS-CoV-2 genomic epidemiology and providing researchers with valuable information about the pandemic's transmission lineages.
