COVID-19 Lecture: High Seroprevalence, Drastic Decline of Incidence and Low Infection Fatality Rate of SARS-CoV-2 Infections in Children and Adults in the Ski Resort Ischgl, Austria
NIH COVID-19 Scientific Interest Group
In early March 2020, a SARS-CoV-2 outbreak at a ski resort in Ischgl, Austria, initiated the spread of SARS-CoV-2 throughout Austria and Northern Europe. Thousands of infections can be traced back to Ischgl. In a recent study by Medical University of Innsbruck investigators, 42.4 percent of those living in Ischgl were shown to be carrying the new coronavirus antibodies, indicating they had been infected in the COVID-19 pandemic. Between April 21 and 27, a cross-sectional epidemiologic study targeting the full population of Ischgl (n= app. 1,867), of which 79 percent could be included ...

Toward Understanding COVID-19 Infection, Transmission, and Pathogenesis at Single-Cell Resolution with the Human Cell Atlas
NIH COVID-19 SIG Lecture Series
The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, creates an urgent need for identifying molecular mechanisms that mediate viral entry, propagation, and tissue pathology. Single-cell analysis of healthy- and SARS-CoV-2-infected tissues offers a unique lens to identify these mechanisms. In an international integrated analysis of the Human Cell Atlas Lung Biological Network--which spans more than 100 single-cell and single-nucleus RNA-Seq datasets previously collected from healthy tissues and includes many previously unpublished studies--we identified the cell types throughout...

Structural Studies of Coronavirus Fusion Glycoproteins
NIH COVID-19 SIG Lecture Series
SARS-CoV-2 is a newly emerged coronavirus responsible for the current COVID-19 pandemic. Coronavirus spike (S) glycoprotein trimers promote the virus ’ s entry into cells and are the main targets of the humoral immune response. We demonstrated that Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a functional entry receptor for this novel coronavirus and that the receptor-binding domains of SARS-CoV-2 S and SARS-CoV S bind with similar affinities to ACE2, which correlates with the efficient spread of SARS-CoV-2 among humans. We used cryo-electron microscopy to determine the structures of the SARS...

Coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, & Glycans
This workshop will focus on the roles of glycans in Coronavirus (CoV) infection, with emphasis on the Spike-glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2, its host receptor(s) and it will introduce new research tools that can facilitate these studies and accelerate the development of therapeutics, vaccines and diagnostics.
Coronavirus ( α − , β − , γ − , and δ -CoVs) are single stranded RNA viruses that can infect the lung, gastrointestinal, and central nervous system of mammals ( α -, β -) and birds ( γ -, δ -). While both α and β -CoV strains can cause mild infections in humans, three β -CoV strains (SARS-CoV in 2003; MERS...
