SARS-CoV-2 virus isolated from air within a car
UF researchers collected the virus that causes COVID-19 from air within a car that was driven by someone with mild symptoms — but who was not wearing a face mask.
Covid-19 household transmission patterns
A UF meta-analysis uncovers transmission patterns of SARS-CoV-2 within households.
UF study examines effect of pandemic on children and households
UF researchers ask how knowledge, attitudes and behaviors regarding the COVID-19 pandemic may affect infection rates, and the mental health, of children and their parents.
COVID-19 model on effectiveness of global vaccination strategies
Which global distribution strategy for a hypothetical COVID-19 vaccine will save the most lives?
Air-tight test: how a UF duo learned to sample aerosols for viruses
UF researchers Chang-Yu Wu, an engineer, and John Lednicky, a virologist, teamed up a decade ago to solve long-standing challenges in how air samples are collected and tested for viruses. Few people grasped the public health value of their work until a novel respiratory virus gave rise to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Autopsies of Covid-19 Victims Reveal Blood Vessel Damage
A UF virologist assisted a team of medical researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City with interpreting microscopic images of tissue samples from COVID-19 victims. The researchers found extensive damage to small blood vessels, and they propose a mechanism linking vessel injury with biological pathways that lead to an immune system in overdrive.
