The leading COVID-19 vaccines aren’t anything like the polio vaccination your grandparents received — or even the flu shot you got this fall.
Patients with severe COVID-19 twice as likely to require future hospitalizations for other illnesses
People who have recovered from a bout of severe COVID-19 may still have reason for concern about their health.
A UF/EPI professor helped develop a model that estimates slightly more than half of COVID-19 transmission is due to people with no symptoms. A third or more of these cases would need to be isolated, in addition to most symptomatic cases, to quell the pandemic.
As scientific voids go, it would be hard just now to find a more pressing question: How do the aerosols...
Recent work contributed to by UF mathematician Burton Singer seeks to estimate how COVID-19 vaccination campaigns will affect the future trajectory of the pandemic in the US.
UF Health researcher Barry Byrne, M.D., Ph.D. is working to develop a COVID-19 vaccine.
UF researchers sifted through several thousand studies on human coronaviruses related to the novel SARS-CoV-2 which causes COVID-19, with the goal of learning from the past to help shape the future.
In recent years, public health emergencies caused by epidemics have led to the use of genome sequencing to identify and characterize viral pathogens.
The University of Florida will attempt to vaccinate more than 1,000 students as part of a landmark national study to determine whether young people who have received a COVID-19 vaccine can still spread the coronavirus.
University of Florida virus experts are gathering genomic sequences from coronaviruses around the world to drive artificial intelligence (AI) research that could predict future spread and outbreaks of this and other strains.
people, however, soon discover the microscopic invader won’t allow them to return to their normal lives even months after infection. It’s an especially insidious side of the coronavirus that makes vaccination all the more important — COVID-19 as chronic illness.
“Travel restrictions delay, but do not stop the spread of the virus,” said Ira Longini, a member of the UF Emerging Pathogens Institute.
