ABSTRACT Human coronaviruses (HCoVs) include seven species: HCoV-229E, HCoV-NL63, HCoV-OC43, HCoV-HKU1, MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV-1, and SARS-CoV-2. The last three, classified as Betacoronaviruses, are highly transmissible and have caused severe pandemics. HCoV infections primarily affect the respiratory system, leading to symptoms such as dry cough, fever, and breath shortness, which can progress to acute respiratory failure and death. Beyond respiratory effects, increasing evidence links HCoVs to neurological dy...

ABSTRACT Background Long COVID is a complex, heterogeneous syndrome affecting over four hundred million people globally. There are few recommendations, and no formal training exists for medical professionals to assist with clinical evaluation and management of patients with Long COVID. More research into the pathology, cellular, and molecular mechanisms of Long COVID, and treatments is needed. The goal of this work is to disseminate essential information about Long COVID and recommendations about definitio...

ABSTRACT Background Since long COVID has hindered people from normal life, it is essential to understand its full spectrum of manifestation. However, it was heterogeneous in the existing studies and few large-scale studies have been conducted on Asian populations. Here, we conducted a multi-centre questionnaire-based study among Chinese people to explore the long COVID based on the definition of WHO. Methods During March 20, 2023 and June 18, 2023, individuals with a history of confirmed or self-reported...

ABSTRACT Background During the recent COVID-19 pandemic, reports of long-term persistence or recurrence of symptoms after SARS-CoV-2 infection emerged, which are now collectively referred to as ‘long COVID’. Most descriptions of long COVID originate from patients residing in high-income countries. We set out to characterise long COVID in a large-scale clinical trial that was conducted in low-middle, high-middle and high-income countries. Methods The Anti-Coronavirus Therapies trials enrolled 6528 adult pat...

ABSTRACT Recent surveillance has identified an expansion of swine H1 1C influenza viruses in Eurasian swine. Since 2010, at least twenty-one spillover events of 1C virus into humans have been detected and three of these occurred from July to December of 2023. Pandemic risk assessment of H1 1C influenza virus revealed that individuals born after 1950 had limited cross-reactive antibodies, confirming that they are antigenically novel viruses. The 1C virus exhibited phenotypic signatures similar to the 2009 pa...
