Protection of natural infection against reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 JN.1 variant
(
Oxford University Press
, 2024 , Article)
Evidence at the level of neutralizing antibodies suggests that the SARS-CoV-2 JN.1 variant demonstrates increased immune evasion compared to its parent lineage BA.2.86 and to recently circulating variants, such as XBB.1.5 ...
Prevalence of hepatitis A virus among migrant workers in Qatar: A national study
(
Public Library of Science
, 2024 , Article)
Background Hepatitis A virus (HAV) is the predominant cause of acute viral hepatitis worldwide; however, data on HAV antibody prevalence (seroprevalence) among migrant populations are limited. This study aimed to investigate ...
