Safe and effective vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 were developed in less than 1 year.

Researchers who sequenced viruses from wastewater samples from 10 Texas cities found H5N1 avian flu virus in 9 of them, sometimes at levels that rivaled seasonal flu.

Influenza A viruses remain a global threat to human health, with continued pandemic potential.

With promising developments in the field of respiratory viral infections, the conference sessions covered hot topics on seasonal, pandemic, and zoonotic influenza viruses, as well as other respiratory viruses such as RSV and SARS-CoV-2.

It is well-established that older adults are at increased risk of severe and fatal COVID-19, but the mechanisms underlying this susceptibility are not entirely clear.

Diabetes affects millions of people worldwide, making them more vulnerable to infections, including seasonal influenza. It is therefore particularly important for those suffering from diabetes to be vaccinated against influenza each year.

Streptococcus pyogenes can cause invasive disease with high mortality despite adequate antibiotic treatments. To address this unmet need, we have previously generated an opsonic IgG1 monoclonal antibody, Ab25, targeting the bacterial M protein.

tudy using data from more than 20 million participants has shown that COVID-19 vaccines consistently prevent long COVID symptoms in adults
