Article Synopsis
- * Prion-infected cells showed disruptions in the nuclear translocation of NF-κB, leading to increased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) and activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes, which suppressed cell death (necroptosis) due to IAV.
- * The findings suggest that cytosolic PrP may play a protective role against viral infections by interfering with NF-κB functioning and stimulating an antiviral immune response via NLRP3 inflammasome activation.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has global impacts but is relatively understudied in developing countries. Mongolia, a lower-middle-income country, instituted strict control measures in early 2020 and avoided widespread transmission until vaccines became available in February, 2021. Mongolia achieved its 60% vaccination coverage goal by July 2021.

Background: With the global spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in early 2020, Mongolia implemented rapid emergency measures and did not report local transmission until November 2020. We conducted a national seroprevalence survey to monitor the burden of SARS-CoV-2 in Mongolia in the months surrounding the first local transmission.
Methods: During October-December 2020, participants were randomly selected using age stratification and invited for interviews and blood samples at local primary health centres.
