Territorywide Study of Early Coronavirus Disease Outbreak, Hong Kong, China.
Abstract Initial cases of coronavirus disease in Hong Kong were imported from mainland China. A dramatic increase in case numbers was seen in February 2020. Most case-patients had no recent travel history, suggesting the presence of transmission chains in the local community. We collected demographic, clinical, and epidemiologic data from 50 patients, who accounted for 53.8% of total reported case-patients as of February 28, 2020. We performed whole-genome sequencing to determine phylogenetic relationship and transmission dynamics of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infections. By using phylogenetic...

Serologic Screening of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Infection in Cats and Dogs during First Coronavirus Disease Wave, the Netherlands
Emerg Infect Dis. 2021 May;27(5):1362-1370. doi: 10.3201/eid2705.204055.ABSTRACTSevere acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) can infect many animal species, including minks, cats, and dogs. To gain insights into SARS-CoV-2 infections in cats and dogs, we developed and validated a set of serologic assays, including ELISA and virus neutralization. Evaluation of samples from animals before they acquired coronavirus disease and samples from cats roaming SARS-CoV-2-positive mink farms confirmed the suitability of these assays for specific antibody detection. Furthermore, our findings exclude SARS-CoV-2 nucleocap...

Efficacy and safety of nintedanib for pulmonary fibrosis in severe pneumonia induced by Coronavirus disease 2019: An interventional study
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV)-2, a novel RNA coronavirus, was identified in early January 2020 as the cause of a severe pneumonia in Wuhan, China. After causing the deaths of thousands of patients in China, SARS-CoV-2 infection (coronavirus disease 2019: COVID-19) has rapidly spread worldwide (Zhu et al., 2020). As of February 15, 2021, more than 108.0 million confirmed infections with approximately 2.4 million deaths were reported from 223 countries and territories around the world (WHO Coronavirus Disease Dashboard, 2021).

Molecular and serological prevalence of Coronavirus in Chiropterans: A systematic review with meta-analysis
Infez Med. 2021 Jun 1;29(2):181-190.ABSTRACTIn recent years, and now especially with the arrival of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), there has been increased interest in understanding the role of bats in the dynamics of transmission and origin of this pandemic agent. To date, no systematic reviews have been published on this topic. This systematic review aimed to summarize and highlight the frequency of bat infections reported in currently available observational studies for coronavirus. The purpose of this study was also to examine the differences between the pool prevalence by technique a...
