Rising SARS-CoV-2 Seroprevalence and Patterns of Cross-Variant Antibody Neutralization in UK Domestic Cats

G. B. Tyson, S. Jones, N. Logan, M. McDonald, P. R. Murcia, B. J. Willett, W. Weir, M. J. Hosie

The paper examines SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence and cross-variant antibody neutralization in UK domestic cats, finding a 3.2% overall seroprevalence with variant-specific responses correlating with human circulation patterns.

Distinct antigenic properties of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron lineages BA.4 and BA.5

B. J. Willett, A. Kurshan, N. Thakur, J. Newman, M. Manali, G. Tyson, N. Logan, P. R. Murcia, L. B. Snell, J. D. Edgeworth, J. Zhou, K. Sukhova, G. Amirthalingam, K. Brown, B. Charleston, , T. P. Peacock

This study compares the antigenic properties of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants BA.4 and BA.5 with BA.1, BA.2, and vaccine-induced antibodies, finding they are antigenically distinct and show enhanced neutralisation breadth after breakthrough infection.
