Mashup Score: 3Detection of infectious SARS-CoV-2 in ocular samples is linked to viral load in the nasopharynx - 2 month(s) ago
IntroductionSARS-CoV-2 is known to infect respiratory tissue cells. However, less is known about infection of ocular tissue and potential infectivity of lacrimal fluid. With this study, we want to compare viral loads in eye and nasopharyngeal swabs and analyze these for infectious virus.MethodsBetween May 2020 and April 2021 ocular and nasopharyngeal swabs were collected from 28 SARS-CoV-2 infected patients treated on the corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-ward of the University Hospital of Innsbruck, Austria. Samples with PCR detectable SARS-CoV-2 were analyzed via whole genome sequencing and an attempt was made to isolate infectious virus.ResultsAt the time point of sample collection, 22 individuals were still PCR positive in nasopharyngeal samples and in 6 of these patients one or both ocular samples were additionally positive. CT-values in eyes were generally higher compared to corresponding nasopharyngeal samples and we observed a tendency for lower CT-values, i.e. increased vir

This week, March 11 marked four years since the WHO declared a global pandemic for COVID. Remember the run on toilet paper and cleaning supplies? We have come a long way since then, but COVID is still a serious disease. JN.1 and its descendants still make up most COVID cases now.

JP Weiland estimates from wastewater viral levels that we are down to about 520,000 new COVID infections each day in the United States with 1 in every 64 people currently infected. This is less than half the number of cases that we were seeing in January. Wastewater SARS-CoV-2 levels are down to “

JN.1 and its descendants continue to dominate both in the U.S. and globally. Hospitalizations and Emergency Department visits continue to decline, although national levels of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater are still “HIGH”, mostly related to high levels in some southern states. Walgreen’s map of COVID positivity shows that there is a

🐪 A camel immunized with SARS-CoV-2 spike protein produced 2 nanobodies (C-282 and C-39) w/broad neutralizing activity against pre-Omicron variants and five Omicron variants (BA.1–5). https://t.co/1CPiZvAO5y Nanobodies are small, easy to produce and have low immunogenicity. https://t.co/KhOV70Ve7l
