Mammal responses to global changes in human activity vary by trophic group and landscape Wildlife must adapt to human presence to survive in the Anthropocene, so it is critical to understand species responses to humans in different contexts. We used camera trapping as a lens to view mammal responses to changes in human activity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Across 163 species sampled in... Food insecurity across age groups in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic Food insecurity increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the impact varied across different age groups during the prolonged public health emergency. This study sought to describe national food insecurity prevalence by adult age group at multiple stages of the pandemic and explore differences by d... The ACE2 receptor from common vampire bat (Desmodus rotundus) and pallid bat (Antrozous pallidus) support attachment and limited infection of SARS CoV-2 viruses in cell culture During the COVID-19 pandemic, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SC2) infection was confirmed in various animal species demonstrating a wide host range of the virus. Prior studies have shown that the ACE2 protein is the primary receptor used by the virus to gain cellular entry and begi... Krisp: A python package for designing CRISPR and amplification-based diagnostic assays from whole genome data Recent pandemics such as COVID-19 have highlighted the importance of rapidly developing diagnostics to detect and monitor evolving pathogens. CRISPR-Cas technology, combined with isothermal DNA amplification methods, has recently been used to develop diagnostic assays for sequence-specific recogniti... How societal forces of change are transforming youth physical activity promotion in North America Climate change, increasing recognition of institutionalized discrimination, and the COVID-19 pandemic are large-scale, societal events (i.e., forces of change) that affect the timing, settings, and modes of youth physical activity. Despite the impact that forces of change have on youth physical acti... Research gaps and priorities for quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for more rapid and routine application of modeling approaches such as quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) for protecting public health. QMRA is a transdisciplinary science dedicated to understanding, predicting, and mitigating infectious disease r... The chemical constituents of parsley (petroselinum crispum) leaf extract and its potential in mitigating the effects of viral infections The pathogenesis of COVID-19 is facilitated by the binding of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein to ACE2 in a host; hence interfering with the interaction between the SARS-CoV-2’s spike protein and ACE2 could possibly reduce the risk of COVID-19. This study aimed to analyze the chemical compositions and e... Irradiance modeling of tubular ultraviolet light bulbs Clean indoor air is crucial for human lives in residential and workplace settings, including food safety and supply chains. Since the COVID-19 outbreak, disinfecting air has become vital for the public as the SARS-CoV-2 virus and other infectious diseases transmit via inhalable aerosols. Ultraviolet... Use of nuclear techniques in human nutrition research: A call for papers Hoffman et al discuss the use of nuclear techniques and human nutrition and call for papers on the matter. If the human nutrition community has learned anything from the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, it is that many of the advances in preventing or understanding the double burden of ... Retail market trends for seafood in the United States Interest in retail seafood sales increased dramatically with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The diversity of species, types of products, product forms, and packaging of the seafood sold at retail, combined with diverse consumerpreferences across the United States, requires detailed data and ana... Perspective: Role of micronutrients and omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids for immune outcomes of relevance to infections in older adults - a narrative review and call for action The immune system is weakened by advancing age, often referred to as immunosenescence, increasing the vulnerability to, and frequently the severity of, infectious diseases in older people. This has become very apparent in the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic for which older peopl... Krisp: A Python package to aid in the design of CRISPR and amplification-based diagnostic assays from whole genome sequencing data Pandemics such as COVID-19 have provided an urgent need for development of rapid diagnostics to diagnose and monitor novel variants. CRISPR-Cas technology combined with isothermal amplification, has recently been applied to develop diagnostic assays for sequence-specific recognition of DNA or RNA. T... Resumption of stable fly and house fly research at post-Covid CMAVE After working from home since March of 2020, CMAVE gradually reopened in early 2022. Field work had been out of the question, so all field projects stopped in their tracks in 2020. All Covid-related safety precautions were lifted earlier in 2023 and we are back to normal or something similar. Some... Oocyte recovery after overnight ovary transport provides an alternative source of cumulus oocyte complexes that are competent to produce live piglets The COVID-19 pandemic created a complicated situation for slaughterhouses worldwide. Slaughterhouse processing lines became a “hot-spot” for the spread of COVID-19. One repercussion was that extra tissues for research were less likely to be collected. This created a critical loss of oocytes for rese... Genetic variation and heritability of sensory and artisan bread traits in a set of SRW wheat breeding lines Post Covid-19, focus on local food production and supply chains has heightened. Our objective was to determine whether wheat breeding lines from a soft red winter (SRW) wheat breeding program might be suitable for artisan bakers interested in locally sourced strong gluten wheat for bread. Seventy-s... Dry fractionation process operations in the production of protein concentrates: A review The plant protein market is growing rapidly to such an extent that there was a 200% increase in sales during the covid pandemic of 2020 to 2022. This expanded demand for plant protein based food products may have been due to health concerns in the populace about covid transmission through animal sys... Chemical composition of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) water extract and its inhibitory effects on SARS-CoV-2 spike protein-ACE2 interation, ACE2 activity and free radical scavenging capacities This study evaluated the chemical composition of rosemary water extract (RWE) and its influence on certain mechanisms by which the SARS-CoV-2 virus gains entry into cells, as a potential route for reducing the risk of COVID-19 disease. Compounds in RWE were identified using UHPLC paired with high-re... Editorial: Insights of important mammalian viruses: Infection, pathogenesis and drugs COVID-19, has brought new attention to the importance of new or emerging pathogenic viruses as a major threat to global health. Viruses have evolved multiple mechanisms to counteract host immunity that can be similar or drastically different for various viruses, making it difficult to control viruse... Associations between mother’s depressive symptoms during pregnancy and newborn’s brain functional connectivity Background: Depression during pregnancy is common and the prevalence further increased during the COVID pandemic. Recent findings have shown potential impact of antenatal major depression on children’s neurodevelopment and behavior, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Nor is it clear whether ... On Schrodinger's cat and evaluation of trials disrupted by the Covid19 pandemic: A critical appraisal This article tried to comment on how to value research activities critically affected by the COVID- 19 pandemic. This paper proposes a set of standardizing criteria for evaluating work that was stopped or modified during the pandemic. The post-COVID-19 world we live in is putting us in the position ...
