Neutralisation sensitivity of the SARS-CoV-2 BA.2.87.1 variant

This study characterizes the neutralization sensitivity of the SARS-CoV-2 BA.2.87.1 variant and shows it is less resistant to antibodies than other variants, with a booster increasing neutralizing titers.

Sensitivity of BA.2.86 to prevailing neutralising antibody responses

This study assesses BA.2.86's sensitivity to neutralising antibodies using monoclonal antibodies and serum samples from Stockholm.

Omicron sublineage BA.2.75.2 exhibits extensive escape from neutralising antibodies

The paper evaluates neutralisation resistance of Omicron sublineages BA.2.75.2, BA.4.6, and BA.2.10.4, finding BA.2.75.2 shows extensive escape from neutralising antibodies.

Evasion of neutralizing antibodies by Omicron sublineage BA.2.75

This study evaluates the neutralization sensitivity of the SARS-CoV-2 BA.2.75 sublineage to monoclonal antibodies and sera from individuals infected with earlier variants.

Structural basis of Omicron neutralization by affinity-matured public antibodies

The paper identifies affinity-matured antibodies that neutralize SARS-CoV-2 Omicron with high potency and resolves their structure to explain cross-neutralization.

Variable loss of antibody potency against SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.529 (Omicron)

This study assesses neutralizing antibody responses against the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant, showing reduced potency compared to the pandemic founder but with some cross-neutralizing capacity in vaccinated individuals.

Combining biomarker and virus phylogenetic models improves epidemiological source identification

This paper develops a method that combines HIV biomarkers with phylogenetic analysis to improve the accuracy of identifying transmission sources in HIV epidemics.

River network rearrangements promote speciation in lowland Amazonian birds

This study shows river network rearrangements in the Amazon promote speciation in birds by creating barriers and facilitating hybrid speciation.

Drivers of phylogenetic structure in Amazonian freshwater fish assemblages

The paper analyzes phylogenetic diversity patterns in Amazonian freshwater fish to identify historical and contemporary drivers shaping their distribution and diversity.

Durability of mRNA-1273-induced antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 variants

This study assesses the durability of mRNA-1273-induced antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 variants over seven months, finding persistent but reduced binding and functional responses.

Assessing the acoustic behaviour of Anopheles gambiae s.l. dsxF mutants: Implications for Vector Control

This study assesses the acoustic behaviour of Anopheles gambiae s.l. dsxF mutants, finding dose-dependent increases in flight tones in females and reduced phonotactic attraction in mutant females, which may impact gene-drive efficacy.

Robust T cell immunity in convalescent individuals with asymptomatic or mild COVID-19

The paper maps SARS-CoV-2-specific T cell responses in individuals with asymptomatic/mild COVID-19 and finds robust memory T cell responses similar to vaccines, detectable even in antibody-seronegative individuals.

Evolution, geographic spreading, and demographic distribution of Enterovirus D68

This study analyzes the evolution and geographic spread of EV-D68 using genomic data from 2018, revealing distinct subclades and age-related patterns in infection.

Intra- and interpatient evolution of enterovirus D68 analyzed by whole-genome deep sequencing

This study analyzes the intra- and interpatient evolution of EV-D68 using whole-genome sequencing, finding low intrapatient variability and evidence of dual infections, along with strong temporal evolution and local spread during the 2016 outbreak.
