Our live virus SARS-CoV-2 studies from Denmark suggest that the level of BA.2.86 plasma neutralization is mostly comparable to that of XBB.1 and EG.5.1. Similar to live virus studies from @sigallab and pseudovirus studies @BarouchLab @ShanLuLiu1 @SystemsVirology

A total number of 10 BA.2.86 cases has been confirmed in Denmark. The variant is still circulating at a low level and cannot explain the increasing trend in SARS-CoV-2 transmission observed the recent month. – at Copenhagen, Denmark

New Danish data release of 185 SARS-CoV-2 sequences includes 6 new BA.2.86 variants sampled between August 10thand August 21st Epidemiological and clinical data are being investigated.

Hvorfor bliver nogle meget syge, når de rammes af en virus, mens andre ikke gør? 🌡️ Det er omdrejningspunkt i nyt SSI-forskningsprojekt, som har fokus på covid-19, influenza og RSV. Projektet er støttet af EU med 52 mil. kr. og begynder til august. ssi.dk/aktuelt/nyheder/2022/…

In this cohort study, temporal neutralizing antibody responses against Omicron BA.1 after two and three doses of BNT162b2 corresponded to vaccine efficacy against Omicron symptomatic disease. @Ria_Lassauniere ja.ma/37I6qRn

Interesting pre-print that finds 47 BA.2 re-infections after BA.1, using amazing surveillance infrastructure in 🇩🇰. Although this reminds us that getting #Omicron once doesn't confer total immunity, I think overall this is good news. 🧵 medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
