What was the purpose of this research?
[ "Title: Gain-of-Function Research: Ethical Analysis\nPassage: were published in 2012. Advocates of these studies/publications argued that they would improve surveillance of H5N1 in nature and facilitate development of vaccines that might be needed to protect against pandemic strains of the virus. Critics questioned the validity of claims about such benefits and argued that the studies might facilitate creation of biological weapons agents that could kill millions, or possibly even billions, of people.", "Title: Why language matters: insights and challenges in applying a social determination of health approach in a North-South collaborative research program\nPassage: serve as outcome to measure quantitatively. We therefore set out to build the infrastructural capacity, while promoting the use of the material, leaving rigorous evaluation to a future date. Traditional epidemiology would consider this study a failure; however, the research process itself brought together communities, non-governmental organizations, national government and international agencies, serving to raise the level of awareness and conferring some empowerment to serve as a basis for future challenges to detrimental social processes. Table 3 assessed this collaborative research project with respect to the 4 S framework.", "Title: Globalization and Health: developing the journal to advance the field\nPassage: review of all the articles that have been published to date. The purpose of this review was to identify strengths, trends and current gaps in research; highlight opportunities for strengthening existing research; and to propose upcoming areas of research, projected to be of increasing importance over the next ten years.", "Title: Gain-of-Function Research: Ethical Analysis\nPassage: Some argued that publishing studies like these in full detail provided ''recipes'' for especially dangerous potential biological weapons agents to would-be bioterrorists. Many who acknowledged such potential dangers, on the other hand, argued that benefits of publication outweighed risks involved." ]

What does the MERS LRT disease involve?
[ "Title: MERS coronavirus: diagnostics, epidemiology and transmission\nPassage: but close and lengthy exposure appears to be a requirement. The KSA is the focal point of MERS, with the majority of human cases. In humans, MERS is mostly known as a lower respiratory tract disease involving fever, cough, breathing difficulties and pneumonia that may progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome, multiorgan failure and death in 20 % to 40 % of those infected.

The simplest structures with non-protein-coding information may represent models of life built on structural, not genetic information. Viruses today are obligatory parasites depending on host cells.

The use of homologous recombination allows site-directed mutagenesis of BACs and, by employing a counterselection scheme, specific modifications can be obtained without leaving residual \"foreign\" sequences . The main advantage of this method is that there are no target limitations and no need for suitable restriction sites. The integration of the modified sequence is performed in vivo thereby potentially being more accurate than in vitro approaches like PCR-based", "Title: DMAb inoculation of synthetic cross reactive antibodies protects against lethal influenza A and B infections\nPassage: A distinct approach to antibody immune therapy which would allow for simplicity of production and lower costs, with high stability and ease of deliverability could be advantageous. In this regard, the technology of DNA-encoded protein antigen delivery has specific advantages as demonstrated by recent successes in the DNA vaccine field: plasmid DNA is well-tolerated and nonintegrating, it does not require cold-chain distribution, it can be delivered repeatedly, and it is relatively inexpensive to produce. 13 However, to date, the ability to produce substantial levels of protein expression systemically from in vivo delivery of plasmid DNA has not been considered feasible." ]

[ "Title: Population-Based Pertussis Incidence and Risk Factors in Infants Less Than 6 Months in Nepal\nPassage: Text: A resurgence of pertussis across age groups has occurred in several countries in recent years . Middle-and high-income countries that use an acellular pertussis vaccine for the primary vaccination series have been particularly affected , and infants and adolescents have experienced the greatest increase . Factors that may contribute to the increased risk of pertussis include rapidly waning immunity from those vaccinated with acellular vaccines , asymptomatic transmission from individuals vaccinated with acellular vaccines , genetic adaption of Bordetella pertussis , vaccination delay or refusal , improved surveillance and laboratory capabilities , and overall increased awareness of the continuing", "Title: Vaccination against Paediatric Respiratory Pathogens\nPassage: There has been an increase in the incidence of pertussis in the European Union from 2011 onwards . The resurgence of pertussis observed in recent years seems to be a complex but real phenomenon due to a number of reasons, including the use of acellular pertussis vaccines in many locales. Lack of mucosal immune responses after aP vaccine administration favour infection, persistent colonization and transmission of the pathogen. Moreover, earlier waning of protective immunity and the circulation of B. pertussis variants depleted of vaccine-included antigens further favor the increase in pertussis disease . Studies in immunized children have reported that", "Title: Vaccination against Paediatric Respiratory Pathogens\nPassage: antibody responses and protective immunity wane 3-5 years after immunization with acellular pertussis vaccines, which may reflect poor induction of memory T and/or B cells .", "Title: Community-acquired pneumonia in children — a changing spectrum of disease\nPassage: Another etiology is pertussis. In the last decade there has also been a resurgence in pertussis cases, especially in highincome countries . Because pertussis immunity after acellular pertussis vaccination is less long-lasting than immunity after wild-type infection or whole-cell vaccination, many women of child-bearing age have waning pertussis antibody levels. Their infants might therefore be born with low transplacental anti-pertussis immunoglobulin G levels, making them susceptible to pertussis infection before completion of the primary vaccination series . In 2014, more than 40,000 pertussis cases were reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States; in some" ]

This outbreak is estimated to have started on 12th December 2019 and 17,332 laboratory confirmed cases with 361 deaths as of 3rd February 2020 in China . The virus has spread to 23 other countries by travellers from Wuhan . Typical symptoms are fever, malaise, shortness of breath and in severe cases, pneumonia" ]

What are coronaviruses?
[ "Title: Genomic characterization of the 2019 novel human-pathogenic coronavirus isolated from a patient with atypical pneumonia after visiting Wuhan\nPassage: Text: Coronaviruses are enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses that belong to the subfamily Coronavirinae, family Coronavirdiae, order Nidovirales. There are four genera of CoVs, namely, Alphacoronavirus , Betacoronavirus , Deltacoronavirus , and Gammacoronavirus . Evolutionary analyses have shown that bats and rodents are the gene sources of most αCoVs and βCoVs, while avian species are the gene sources of most δCoVs and γCoVs. CoVs have repeatedly crossed species barriers and some have emerged as important human pathogens. The best-known examples include severe acute respiratory syndrome CoV which emerged in China in 2002-2003 to cause a large-scale epidemic with about 8000", "Title: CDC Summary 21 MAR 2020,\nPassage: COVID-19 is caused by a coronavirus. Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that are common in people and many different species of animals, including camels, cattle, cats, and bats.
