Omicron is supercharging the COVID vaccine booster debate

The data are growing that booster jabs enhance protection — but their durability, impact and ability to quash the new variant are unknown.

Three, four or more: what’s the magic number for booster shots?

COVID vaccine boosters are proving a useful tool against Omicron, but scientists say that endless boosting might not be a practical or sustainable strategy.

Delta’s rise is fuelled by rampant spread from people who feel fine

People infected with the Delta variant generally do not have COVID-19 symptoms until two days after they start shedding the coronavirus.

COVID vaccines cut the risk of transmitting Delta — but not for long

People who receive two COVID-19 jabs and later contract the Delta variant are less likely to infect their close contacts than are unvaccinated people with Delta.

Anthropogenic impacts on mosquito populations in North America over the past century

Insect populations have fluctuated enormously over the past century, with many changes being attributed to anthropogenic climate change. Rochlinet al. show that the pesticide DDT and increasing urbanization are more strongly associated with changes in the number and diversity of mosquitoes on both coasts of North America.

Continued preference for suboptimal habitat reduces bat survival with white-nose syndrome

Temperature-dependent host–pathogen interactions may lead species to shift their thermal preferences under pathogen pressure. However, here the authors show that bats have not altered their microclimate preferences due to temperature-mediated mortality from white-nose syndrome, finding instead a sustained preference for warmer sites with high mortality.

Indexing the Pseudomonas specialized metabolome enabled the discovery of poaeamide B and the bananamides

The metabolomes of 260 strains of Pseudomonas were indexed, enabling the discovery and evolutionary relationships of 4 molecules — a poaeamide analogue, and the bananamides 1, 2 and 3 — a molecular sub-family of cyclic lipopeptides.

Modeling the effectiveness of olfactory testing to limit SARS-CoV-2 transmission

A central problem in the COVID-19 pandemic is that there is not enough testing to prevent infectious spread of SARS-CoV-2, causing surges and lockdowns with human and economic toll. Here, the authors evaluate an alternative strategy based on the monitoring of olfactory dysfunction with a mathematical model.

Ecology and impacts of white-nose syndrome on bats

The fungal pathogen Pseudogymnoascus destructans, which causes white-nose syndrome in bats, has devastated bat populations in North America since its introduction from Eurasia in the 2000s. In this Review, Hoyt and colleagues describe the ecology of P. destructans in bats and its impacts on bats and the ecosystem.
