Hybrid viruses can emerge from co-infections. And we don’t know their effects.

Previous infection was highly protective against reinfection with alpha, beta and delta variants, but less so against omicron BA.1.
This guidance replaces previous conditional recommendations for the use of these drugs and is based on emerging evidence that they’re not likely to work against omicron.
Poliovirus traces in London sewage from February to May suggest ongoing infection
A French study found a four to sixfold reduction in neutralisation against the delta variant compared with the alpha (Kent) variant.
Experts in viral immunology, ethics and computational biology share their thoughts on England sloughing off the last of the COVID restrictions.
Scientists have discovered that SARS-CoV-2 can evade neutralising antibodies by fusing cells.
A viral immunologist answers key questions about the B16172 variant.
The UK government has announced a four-stage plan for ending COVID-19 restrictions.
We can help vaccines keep up with the mutating coronavirus by doubling down on preventive measures.
Millions of Britons will be given a COVID vaccination card proving they have received the jab.
Lo más importante para que las nuevas vacunas sean útiles es que protejan a los más vulnerables. De momento, los datos son esperanzadores.
Early data shows that vaccines work for older people who are more at risk of severe COVID-19.
In science, vaccine efficacy and effectiveness mean something different.
Les scientifiques n’ont pas été surpris par les cas de patients réinfectés au coronavirus. Ils ne s’en inquiètent pas non plus. L’absence de symptômes est en effet encourageante.
Scientists were not surprised by reports on coronavirus reinfection; the lack of symptoms on reinfection is encouraging.
Here’s what we know about immunity to COVID-19, and what that means for getting life back to normal.
We don’t have vaccines for the Sars, Mers or the common cold. But that doesn’t mean scientists won’t crack it this time.
