The BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) B.1.1.529 (omicron) variant have shown the capacity of escaping from neutralizing antibodies.1 These subvariants had an ...
Protection of Omicron sub-lineage infection against reinfection with another Omicron sub-lineage
(
Nature Research
, 2022 , Article)
There is significant genetic distance between SARS-CoV-2 Omicron (B.1.1.529) variant BA.1 and BA.2 sub-lineages. This study investigates immune protection of infection with one sub-lineage against reinfection with the other ...
Estimating protection afforded by prior infection in preventing reinfection: Applying the test-negative study design.
(
Oxford University Press
, 2023 , Article)
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need to use infection testing databases to rapidly estimate effectiveness of prior infection in preventing reinfection ($P{E}_S$) by novel SARS-CoV-2 variants. Mathematical modeling ...
