  • Reconciling differences pertaining to the origin of SARS-CoV-2

    • Authors: Muhammad, Yasin Ali;  Advisor: -;  Participants: - (2022)

  • At the time of this writing, SARS-CoV-2 has reportedly claimed the lives of millions of people worldwide. However, there is still disagreement concerning the origin of SARS-CoV-2, its true nature, and the extent of its pathogenicity. Thus, the purpose of this manuscript is to highlight and critically analyze these differences so that research efforts can be geared toward addressing these concerns.

  • Cross-species virus transmission and its pandemic potential

    • Authors: Choudhury, Priyanka Ray;  Advisor: -;  Participants: Saha, Tapoja; Goel, Sachin; Shah, Janvi Manish; Ganjewala, Deepak (2022)

  • The majority of pandemics are known to be a result of either bacteria or viruses out of which viruses seem to be an entity of growing concern due to the sheer number of yet unidentified and potentially threatening viruses, their ability to quickly evolve and transform, their ability to transfer and change from one host organism to another and the difficulty in creating safe vaccines on time.

  • Current challenges in different approaches to control COVID-19: a comprehensive review

    • Authors: Giri, Simran;  Advisor: -;  Participants: Sen, Sanjukta; Singh, Rohan; Paul, Paramita; Sahu, Ranabir; Nandi, Gouranga; Dua, Tarun Kumar (2022)

  • The World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a global health emergency on January 30, 2020, and as a pandemic disease on March 11, 2020. This review highlights the international situation, risk factors, and related protections to be taken as prerequisite measures and probable treatment options for the COVID-19-infected population in the current scenario.

  • COVID-19 vaccines: their effectiveness against the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and its emerging variants

    • Authors: Noor, Rashed;  Advisor: -;  Participants: Shareen, Saadia; Billah, Muntasir (2022)

  • The world has been suffering from the COVID-19 pandemic (officially declared by WHO in March 2020), caused by the severe acute respiratory β-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) since the last week of December 2019. The disease was initially designated as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on January 30, 2020. In order to protect the health of mass public, an array of research on drugs and vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 has been conducted globally. However, the emerging variants of SARS-CoV-2, i.e., Alpha (B.1.1.7), Beta (B.1.351), Gamma (P.1), and Delta (B.1.617.2) variants which evolved in late 2020 and the Omicron variant (B.1.1.529) which emerged in November 2021 along with its subvariant BA.2 which was first identified in India and South Africa in late December 2021, have ra...

  • Evaluation of respiratory tract bacterial co-infections in SARS-CoV-2 patients with mild or asymptomatic infection in Lagos, Nigeria

    • Authors: Davies-Bolorunduro, Olabisi Flora;  Advisor: -;  Participants: Fowora, Muinah Adenike; Amoo, Olufemi Samuel; Adeniji, Esther; Osuolale, Kazeem Adewale; Oladele, Oluwatobi; Onuigbo, Tochukwu Ifeanyi; Obi, Josephine Chioma; Oraegbu, Joy; Ogundepo, Oluwatobi; Ahmed, Rahaman Ademolu; Usman, Olagoke AbdulRazaq; Iyapo, Bosede Ganiyat; Dada, Adedamola Adejuwon; Onyia, Ngozi; Adegbola, Richard Adebayo; Audu, Rosemary Ajuma; Salako, Babatunde Lawal (2022)

  • A common complication of any respiratory disease by a virus could be a secondary bacterial infection, which is known to cause an increase in severity. It is, however, not clear whether the presence of some opportunistic pathogens called pathobionts contributes to the severity of the disease. In COVID-19 patients, undetected bacterial co-infections may be associated with the severity of the disease. Therefore, we investigated the implications of bacterial co-infections in COVID-19 cases.
