In a new study published in the journal Nature Medicine, scientists monitored 10 individuals for more than 35 years, to determine the number of times they were infected with the four known seasonal coronaviruses that cause mild symptoms of the common cold or cause no symptoms at all, the team periodically examined the blood of the participants To search for antibodies, to discover new cases of infection.
The new data shows that immunity to other coronaviruses tends to be short-lived, with repeated infections occurring often after about 12 months, and in some cases, even earlier, according to Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), In a comment on the research, the study authors found that in a few cases, infection occurred as early as six months and nine months after the previous infection.
For the new study, the preparers re-examined those samples for infection with the Coronavirus, especially looking for antibodies that target a specific part of the nuclear capsid of each virus – the hard shell of the protein that surrounds its genetic material, known as RNA.
Collins wrote that as people gain immunity to the virus, either through a natural infection or a vaccine in the future, it will be important to track how long that immunity lasts. People will likely need to be vaccinated on a more frequent basis to keep the virus in isolation from us, previously Live Science reported.
In the new study, the team also found that seasonal Corona virus infection occurs more often in the winter months than in the summer months in the Netherlands, and they suggested that “Covid-19” may ultimately share the same seasonal pattern, and other experts also predicted that “Covid” -19 “It may spread annually after the end of the epidemic.
