SARS-CoV-2 enters cells via binding of the surface-exposed spike protein RBD to host cell ACE2 receptors. Therefore, in this study, we designed a scFv (single-chain fragment variable) based on the amino acid sequence of CC12.1, a neutralizing
Background. Behavior change has been a critical factor in slowing the spread of COVID-19. In South Africa where infection rates are high, research is needed on the protective behaviors adopted by youth who have low infection rates but are carriers of
Multiple clinical and epidemiological studies have shown an interconnection between coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and diabetes, but experimental evidence is still lacking. Understanding the interplay between them is important because of the
BACKGROUND: Despite vaccination coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-associated mortality caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) remains high in kidney transplant recipients. Nirmatrelvir is a protease inhibitor with
International airports can have a key role in screening, detecting, and mitigating cross-border transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and potentially other infectious diseases. With aircraft passengers representing a subpopulation of a country or region
CONCLUSIONS: The expert recommendations deviate from the legal situation and appear to be more differentiated and proportional. The influence of specific experience and expertise on the mask recommendation should be investigated in more detail. For
BACKGROUND: Suboptimal detection and response to recent outbreaks, including COVID-19 and mpox (formerly known as monkeypox), have shown that the world is insufficiently prepared for public health threats. Routine monitoring of detection and response
