Sars-cov-2

A new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine suggests that being infected with SARS-CoV-2 - the virus that causes COVID-19 - profoundly impacts brain health in many ways.

Doctors at Friedrich-Alexander-Universitat Erlangen-Nurnberg and hospitals in Munich and Vienna became interested in the case after hearing local news reports.

According to the study, carried out by the Beijing University of Chemical Technology, the virus was similar to Sars-CoV-2 and discovered in 2017 in pangolins before the Covid outbreak.

Data compiled by the Indian SARS-CoV-2 Genomics Consortium (INSACOG) showed Karnataka has reported the highest number of JN.1 cases at 215.

Amid a surge in COVID-19 cases in India and the detection of a subvariant JN.1, India SARS-CoV-2 Genomics Consortium (INSACOG) chief Dr NK Arora said that no additional dose of vaccine is needed against the subvariant at present.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus is found in the lungs of certain individuals for up to 18 months after the infection, according to a study.

Scientists across the world are worried about a new COVID-19 variant that could be more infectious and could evade vaccine immunity.

The EG.5.1 variant of SARS-CoV-2 can escape neutralising antibodies better than other currently circulating strains, giving it an advantage in infecting vaccinated or previously infected people, according to a study published in

The researchers indicated that their findings imply that white-tailed deer may function as a "reservoir" for the coronavirus.

WHO has classified the EG.5 strain of the SARS-CoV-2 virus circulating in different parts of the world, including India, as a "variant of interest" but said it did not seem to pose more of a threat to public health than other strains.

Infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus may significantly accelerate dementia in patients already suffering from the neurodegenerative condition, according to a study conducted in West Bengal.

Rats collected in the study tested positive for alpha, delta and omicron variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus may negatively impact semen quality, according to a study on 30 males conducted by researchers at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences.

Five cases of COVID-19's XBB.1.5 variant, responsible for the rise in cases in the US, have been found in India, according to data from the Indian SARS-CoV-2 Genomics Consortium (INSACOG).

The SARS-CoV-2 virus spreads throughout the body, including the brain, and lingers for almost eight months, shows an analysis of tissue samples from the autopsies of people who died due to COVID-19.
