From Emergence to Evolution: Dynamics of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron Variant in Florida.
Pathogens
December 2024
Burnett School of Biomedical Sciences, College of Medicine, University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL 32827, USA.
The continual evolution of SARS-CoV-2 has significantly influenced the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the emergence of highly transmissible and immune-evasive variants posing persistent challenges. The Omicron variant, first identified in November 2021, rapidly replaced the Delta variant, becoming the predominant strain worldwide. In Florida, Omicron was first detected in December 2021, leading to an unprecedented surge in cases that surpassed all prior waves, despite extensive vaccination efforts.

Department of Internal Medicine, Chi Mei Medical Center, Tainan, Taiwan. Electronic address:
Background: This study analyzed the epidemiological trends of three significant respiratory infectious diseases in Taiwan: invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD), influenza with severe complications, and tuberculosis during post-COVID-19 pandemic period.
Methods: We utilized data from Taiwan's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website and classified the COVID-19 prevention policies into three phases for the year 2021, 2022, and 2023. We then performed a statistical analysis of reported case numbers for the three respiratory diseases during the 3-year period using the Kruskal-Wallis test, followed by joinpoint regression model for the identification of seasonal distribution and variation.
Unwelcome return: analyzing the recent rise of measles cases in the United States.
Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent)
August 2024
Department of Internal Medicine, Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, Hershey, Pennsylvania, USA.
Article Synopsis
- * Although vaccination efforts have reduced measles cases globally, recent outbreaks in the U.S. show that public health goals for elimination have not been met, with none of the World Health Organization regions achieving measles elimination by 2020.
- * Key factors for the resurgence of measles outbreaks include vaccine hesitancy, the importation of the virus through international travel, and waning immunity, emphasizing the need for comprehensive public health strategies to combat the disease.
Novel imported clades accelerated the RSV surge in Beijing, China, 2023-2024.

CAS Key Laboratory of Pathogen Microbiology and Immunology, Institute of Microbiology, CAS-TWAS Center of Excellence for Emerging Infectious Diseases (CEEID), Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China. Electronic address:
Article Synopsis
- The study examines a significant rise in respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) cases in Northern China following the adjustment of the zero-COVID policy, particularly in Beijing.
- Researchers analyzed data from over 60,000 patients with acute respiratory tract infections, identifying two new RSV clades, A.D.5.2 and B.D.E.1, with B.D.E.1 being the primary driver of the recent surge.
- Findings indicate B.D.E.1's prevalence among older populations and its genetic mutations suggest potential for greater transmissibility, highlighting the need for ongoing genomic monitoring to manage RSV outbreaks effectively.
Mediating Roles of Perceived Quality and Perceived Behaviour Control in Shaping Chinese Consumer's Purchase Intention for Domestic Infant Milk Formula (IMF).
Foods
September 2024
Agricultural Information Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Beijing 100081, China.
The 2008 melamine crisis led to widespread consumer distrust of Chinese domestic infant milk formula (IMF), which was substituted through a surge of imported products. Recent studies, however, suggest a revival in consumer confidence in Chinese domestic products and regulatory supervision. This coincides with a rise in consumer ethnocentrism and increased concern about foreign IMF, which arose during the COVID-19 pandemic.
