Regulation of a nuclear receptor signaling pathway may cure the often-lethal disease caused by the endemic parasitic roundworm, Strongyloides stercoralis.
A new tick metabolic pathway that is connected to the survival of the Lyme disease spirochete was identified, which may lead to new ways to interfere with the spirochete life cycle.
A peroxidase-containing nanocompartment in the bacterial pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis protects against oxidative stress and antibiotic treatment in the host.
Healthcare workers working on COVID-19 wards experience a 31-fold increased risk of infection with SARS-CoV-2 compared to colleagues on non-COVID-19 wards whilst wearing fluid-resistant surgical masks, and FFP3 respirators provide up to 100% protection against infection.

SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination elicit antibodies that cross-react with other human coronavirus spike proteins, indicating the spike S2 subdomain as a potential target strategy to develop a pan-coronavirus vaccine.
Very frequent viral kinetics in liver transplant patients reveals that the liver is not only the source of hepatitis C virus (HCV) production, but also plays a major role in extracellular HCV clearance.
