Griffith's experiment discovering the "transforming principle" in Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcal) bacteria.

A study of samples collected in Manaus between November 2020 and January 2021, indicated that the Gamma variant is 1.4–2.2 times more transmissible and was shown to be capable of evading 25–61% of inherited immunity from previous coronavirus diseases, leading to the possibility of reinfection after recovery from an earlier COVID-19 ...
Nearly all COVID-19 cases in the United States right now are being caused by one, highly contagious variant called JN.1. The fast-spreading omicron subvariant currently accounts for over 93% of ...
