Shan-Lu Liu of The Ohio State University and colleagues set out to see if this cell-to-cell transmission occurs in SARS-CoV-2. Engineering pseudotyped virus genomes to include spike protein and ...

SARS-CoV emerged about two decades ago in China and spread rapidly to other countries. Fortunately, it was successfully contained and no new cases have been reported since the initial outbreak.

This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop. The science around transmission of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is complex and evolving quickly. For ...

SARS-CoV-2 has been evolving the ability to evade the immune system about twice as fast as the fastest-evolving flu virus. It ...

"It has been more widespread than SARS and MERS. More people are getting ... But it's important to note that Zika is transmitted primarily through mosquitoes, while the coronavirus is spread ...

Specifically, we developed a statistical mechanics model that connects the thermodynamic properties of the virus's spike protein to its ability to spread. The key player in SARS-CoV-2's infection ...

As the COVID-19 pandemic has unfolded, researchers have hotly debated the primary method of transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus—via relatively large respiratory droplets, which fall quickly to the ...
