Understanding the immunological landscape of England during SARS-CoV2 Omicron variant wave Open
Understanding the scale of the threat posed by SARS-CoV2 B.1.1.529, or Omicron , variant formed a key problem in public health in the early part of 2022. Early evidence indicated that the variant was more transmissible and less severe than…

Lateral flow test performance in children for SARS-CoV-2 using anterior nasal and buccal swabbing: sensitivity, specificity, negative and positive predictive values Open
Objective To determine if the sensitivity of the lateral flow test is dependent on the viral load and on the location of swabbing in the respiratory tract in children. Design Phase 1: Routinely performed reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) …

Estimating the risk of hospitalisation and death in England’s remaining unvaccinated population Open
The roll-out of COVID-19 vaccines in the England has generally been very good – with over 80% of over 12s having received two doses of vaccine by the start of February 2022, and 67% having received a further booster dose. Despite this, the…

Dispersion of Legionella bacteria in atmosphere: A practical source location estimation method Open
Legionnaires' disease, a form of pneumonia which can be fatal, is transmitted via the inhalation of water droplets containing Legionella bacteria. These droplets can be dispersed in the atmosphere several kilometers from their source. The …
