The World Health Organization has launched a warning about the rapid spread of the NB.1.8.1 variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which has been detected so far in at least 22 countries, including ...

The initial data on inapparent SARS-CoV-2 infection strengthened the hope that, at a certain level of vaccination, transmission would cease completely.

SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 are both zoonotic human coronaviruses that have caused outbreaks and show genetic similarity.

New evidence suggests that SARS-CoV-2 infection can lead to the rapid development of achalasia, a rare esophageal motility disorder. The etiology of achalasia is unclear. Studies have suggested an ...

The size of SARS-CoV-2 virus particles can provide a useful insight into how they infect host cells and how to protect against them.

The virus likely reached humans not via bat migration but through the wildlife trade—contradicting hypotheses that it may have lab origins.

Researchers have generated what they describe as the most complete gene annotation of the SARS-CoV-2 genome. In their study, they confirmed several protein-coding genes and found that a few others ...

Unfounded claims about SARS-CoV-2’s origin continue to circulate, further complicating efforts to maintain a constructive, evidence-based public discourse.

Science is drawing us ever closer to an understanding of SARS-CoV-2 and where it originated.

A look at the data that omicron is less severe. What does that mean for the future of SARS-CoV-2 — and the pandemic?
