SARS-CoV-2

UF researchers determined how long children remain infectious with the omicron viral variant after receiving a positive test result for SARS-CoV-2.

UF medical geographer Sadie Ryan makes the case that we need to better study human-to-wildlife viral transmission factors to better understand "spillback" events. How do we know when spillback will threaten species conservation — or fuel the next pandemic?

UF researchers updated their model projecting how an omicron-driven surge may unfold in Florida over the next few weeks and months. (This version supersedes the model information published Dec. 17, 2021.)

UF researchers created a model projecting how various omicron-driven surge scenarios may unfold in Florida over the next few months.

A UF researcher collaborated on a model estimating how an alternate delta-driven surge scenario would have played out if at least 74% of Florida's adults were vaccinated against COVID-19 by mid-summer.

A new model compares how various rapid antigen tests could be optimized with quarantine and surveillance efforts to reduce transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19.

UF researchers estimate what COVID-19 infections, cases, and deaths may look like in Florida in the coming months.

A team of UF researchers report genetic sequencing evidence showing how the gamma (P.1) variant rapidly replaced earlier lineages of the SARS-CoV-2 virus this past summer in Haiti. The outbreak occurred despite a relatively high level of immunity to SARS-CoV-2 within the population.
