Infectious disease epidemics are composed of chains of transmission, but little is known about how co-circulating transmissions vary in size.
Understanding these features could help to target interventions and track variants and their hosts with different impacts.

The new variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus known as the B.1.1.7 variant has a total of 23 mutations.
Six of these cause no change in the amino acids, but of the remaining 17, eight affect the spike protein. Due to this, some scientists believe the B.1.1.7 variant has a higher rate of transmissibility.

A recent study revealed that UV LED lights effectively kill a human Coronavirus.
If future research finds that they are also effective against SARS-CoV-2, this technology could be an inexpensive way to disinfect hospitals and other industrial settings.

Whilst we are still living in a world largely dominated by COVID-19, here at Baker, we feel it’s important to still continue to support those who have dedicated their careers to patient and clinical care across the globe!
As vaccines programs are rolled out in many countries, the hope for a new normality is on the horizon.
At Baker, we have been #SupportingScience since 1951 and with new vaccines, therapeutics and discoveries now worldwide, we will continue to do so now more than ever!

Research has found that a genetically altered vaccine for yellow fever could protect against COVID-19.
It appears to provide protection after a single shot, whereas other SARS-CoV-2 vaccines require two doses, one month apart.
