After initially appearing harmless to humans, researchers at Washington State University (WSU) have now discovered a coronavirus found in Russian bats in 2020 does indeed have the potential to spillover to humans, and it is resistant to SARS-CoV-2 antibodies and vaccination.

Researchers discovered that the genetic variants observed in low frequency in older COVID-19 infections morphed into new strains responsible for later transmission surges.

Scientists created an AI model that can detect SARS-CoV-2 infection in people’s voices through a mobile phone app even when no symptoms are present. The model is accurate 89% of the time.

Researchers developed a machine learning-based methodology that can accurately predict disease transmission from wildlife to humans, from one wildlife species to another, and determine who is at risk of infection.

A team of researchers says we’re picturing SARS-CoV-2 incorrectly. Not only that, but its real shape contributes to how easily the virus can be transmitted.

In a new study, researchers describe a “stealing” mechanism that uses foreign genes or other distant DNA fragments to create disease antibodies—even if a patient has never been infected with said disease.
