Researchers create 'UV Curtain' that can sterilize rooms against coronaviruses

Researchers from the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich have created a new system to protect areas from the virus, using a light-emitting diode (LED)-based ultraviolet C (UV-C) light curtain. Specific wavelengths of UV-C are known to inactivate viruses and bacteria, and this tool could help keep areas sterile.

JRA OT provides a step-wise approach for qualitative risk assessments during COVID-19

A multisectoral, One Health approach is necessary to address complex health threats at the human-animal-environment interface. Since 2017, the Tripartite (FAO-OIE-WHO) has led a technical area working group for the development and pilot of the Joint Risk Assessment Operational Tool (JRA OT), an implementation tool associated with the Tripartite Zoonoses Guide.

CRISPR-based microfluidic platform detects respiratory viruses and SARS-CoV-2 variants

Researchers in the US have developed a novel multiplexed diagnostic platform based on CRISPR-based approaches and microfluidics - enabling robust and simultaneous surveillance of multiple viruses and viral variants. Currently, the paper is available on the medRxiv* preprint server pending peer review.

Eating before saliva collection may interfere with detection of SARS-CoV-2

A new study, published on the medRxiv* preprint server, has aimed to determine if children's diet impacts the detection of SARS-CoV-2 virus in saliva. Scientists performed diagnostic tests to detect this virus using real-time self-collected specimens provided by five healthy children. The samples were collected before and after eating selected foods. The specific time of collection of samples after eating were 0 minutes, 20 minutes, and 60 minutes after eating.
