vPro-MS enables identification of human-pathogenic viruses from patient samples by untargeted proteomics - Nature Communications Proteomics is going viral as a new diagnostic method for untargeted virus identification from patient samples. vPro-MS can be used to simultaneously identify human-pathogenic viruses and analyze the host’s response in large-scale proteomic studies.

vPro MS enables untargeted mass-spectrometry-based detection of human pathogenic viruses in clinical samples.

3/7 Human cases range from mild to severe and potentially fatal, primarily causing respiratory symptoms but sometimes conjunctivitis and other manifestations. Some exposed individuals have tested positive without showing symptoms—raising surveillance challenges.

4/7 The genetic sequences were uploaded Tuesday by the USDA's National Veterinary Laboratory Services to GISAID, a public access genetic repository.

Henry Niman, evolutionary molecular biologist, reviewed the data and reported the findings.

Evaluation of risk-based travel policy for the COVID-19 epidemic in Scotland: a population-based surveillance study Objectives We aimed to assess the effects of risk-based travel restrictions on (1) international travel frequency, (2) SARS-CoV-2 case importation risk, (3) national SARS-CoV-2 incidence and (4) impor...

Scotland's risk-based travel policy had mixed success in mitigating #SARSCoV2 importation and variant spread.
