On February 24, 2023, the FDA issued apress releaseannouncing an emergency use authorization (EUA) for at-home tests that detectinfluenzaand COVID-19. This EUA allows over-the-counter sales of the Lucira COVID-19 and Flu Home Test, marking the first at-home diagnosti...
All kits were used according to manufacturer's guidelines. SARS-CoV-2 Serology Assays Two different antibody assays were used to detect SARS-CoV-2 antibodies: a rapid point-of-care (POC) finger-prick assay and a laboratory-based assay. The POC test was the Abbexa (Cambridge, UK) COVID-...
Compared with SARS-CoV-2, mild respiratory influenza in mice caused similar patterns of white-matter-selective microglial reactivity, oligodendrocyte loss, impaired neurogenesis, and elevated CCL11 at early time points, but after influenza, only elevated CCL11 and hippocampal pathology persisted. These ...
◆On 3 May, International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents published an article entitled “SARS-COV-2 was already spreading in France in late December 2019”. According to the article, researchers reviewed the medical record of 14 selected ICU patients admitted for influenza-like illness between Decem...

Other viruses evolve in their immunogenic regions so that they can effectively evade the host’s immune response (e.g., influenza A virus) [99]. Consequently, although SARS-CoV-2 generates a variant that escapes vaccine immunity, we do not know if this variant replicates as vigorously as ...
