Adults with prepandemic respiratory conditions, including asthma, bronchitis, and recurrent upper respiratory infections, are significantly more likely to develop long COVID after a mild-to-moderate ...

Of the five SARS-CoV-2 variants-of-concern (VOC), Omicron shows increased transmissibility and infectivity, but lower pathogenicity. This drop in virulence was associated with an altered entry of VOC ...

During the first few years of the COVID-19 pandemic, the virus SARS-CoV-2 was detected in an increasing number of non-human animal species. This included many wild animal species as well as domestic ...

As colder months set in, respiratory infections begin to climb: everything from the common cold and flu to COVID-19. It's a time when healthy lungs matter more than ever. Yet the very tissue that lets ...

Researchers at the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) in Brazil have discovered that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, uses a sophisticated tactic to evade the human body's defense ...
