Tixagevimab-cilgavimab is a combination medication to help prevent COVID-19 infection. Tixagevimab-cilgavimab (Evusheld) consists of 2 long-acting monoclonal antibodies that bind to the spike protein of the virus that causes COVID-19 to prevent it from infecting human cells. When Can Tixagevimab-Cilgavimab Be Given? Tixagevimab-cilgavimab is not a treatment for COVID-19 and […]
El nuevo virus forma parte de los Sarbecovirus, que es un subgénero del Betacoronavirus a los que pertenecen los Coronavirus. El patógeno bautizado como Khosta-2 tiene la capacidad para entrar en las células humanas y podría ser resistente a las vacunas actuales. La investigación científica sobre el hallazgo fue publicada […]
To say that Krystal Lashley went to great lengths to get the Novavax COVID-19 vaccine (NVX-CoV2373) would be a gross understatement. In April, Lashley traveled roughly 3700 miles from her home in Metuchen, New Jersey, to a pharmacy in Paris, France, for her first dose. She then flew to the […]
Un virus recientemente descubierto en un murciélago ruso y similar al SARS-CoV-2 es capaz de entrar en las células humanas y sería resistente a las vacunas, pero carece de algunos de los genes que se cree que están implicados en la patogénesis en humanos. El virus se ha llamado Khosta-2 y es un sarbecovirus, la misma subcategoría que el […]

Researchers used a recently developed method of wastewater genomic surveillance to detect SARS-CoV-2 infections on the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), campus during 10 months of the pandemic. The approach identified viral variants of concern as early as 2 weeks before the variants showed up in clinical tests, the […]
