Health24.com | Researchers identify potential coronavirus vaccine target

You Need Posted on by

The number of coronavirus cases worldwide has surpassed 120 000 and stringent measures are being taken in countries such as Italy to try and contain infections.

Researchers are actively looking for ways to prevent new infections by targeting the new virus, which is officially named SARS-Cov-2, but referred to as the Covid-19 virus to prevent unnecessary confusion and panic.

This new strain of coronavirus, first identified in December 2019, is similar to the coronavirus strains that caused the SARS and MERS outbreaks a number of years ago. 

Two new studies were recently published in the journal Cell, explaining why the Covid-19 virus is spreading so easily and how it adheres to cells.

According to the research, the Covid-19 virus uses the same way to enter cells as SARS-Cov did in 2003, leading scientists to look at ways to disrupt the process – with the help of enzyme inhibitors and antibodies.

How exactly does a coronavirus infect your cells?

We are told that you get infected with the new coronavirus into your system and can become potentially sick with Covid-19 by inhaling droplets coughed out by sick people, but exactly how you can get sick is a bit more complicated.

The new virus can be defined as an enveloped RNA virus. This means that an envelope plays a strong role in helping the virus survive when it attaches to its host, and that this envelope was encoded by the last cell it infected.

When these viruses infect a cell, it happens in two stages:

  • Firstly, the new coronavirus connects with a receptor on its target cell.
  • Secondly, the virus “sheds” its envelope to fuse with the cell it attaches to. This makes the virus strong and helps it to survive.

By understanding how exactly the cells react, researchers are more easily able to come up with a way to halt the process.

“Unravelling which cellular factors are used by SARS-CoV-2 (the Covid-19 virus) for entry might provide insights into viral transmission and reveal therapeutic targets,” according to the authors of one of the new papers in Cell.

How a vaccine is developed

The researchers also studied whether there are any human antibodies that could help prevent the entry of the new coronavirus into cells.

According to a news report, they found that antibodies against the virus that caused the SARS outbreak in 2003 could potentially reduce the infection of this new virus. This was only achieved in a laboratory environment, but holds great promise.

“Although confirmation with infectious virus is pending, our results indicate that neutralising antibody responses raised against SARS-Cov (the 2003 SARS virus) could offer some protection against the latest SARS-CoV-2 (the Covid-19 virus) infection, which may have implications for outbreak control,” the team revealed in the paper.

And this is not the only research to use potential antibodies in a vaccine. Another team from the University of Washington in Seattle provided more evidence that the virus enters target cells via an enzyme could ACE2, according to another paper published in Cell.

The roll of this ACE2 enzyme was discussed in a previous Health24 article on why the new virus spreads so easily. 

Light at the end of the tunnel

It’s important to reiterate that while research looks promising, more testing and clinical trials are still required.

Clean-up operations have begun in Mpophomeni in KwaZulu-Natal after heavy rains severely damaged a petrol station and injured two people.

Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs MEC Sipho Hlomuka said disaster management teams were dispatched to the area after rain and hail also battered houses.

“It severely damaged a petrol station yesterday afternoon which collapsed and damaged four cars and injured two people, who were rushed to the nearest hospital.”

He said disaster management teams will assess the extent of the damage.

“[I] urge residents to exercise extreme caution as inclement weather conditions continue to pose a serious danger to human life. Since the beginning of the year, the province has experienced a number of incidents, which have cost human lives and caused millions of rand’s worth of damage.”

Hlomuka also called on parents and teachers to ensure that scholars avoid flooded walkways and rivers on their way to school and back.

Sport24.co.za | Why the Stormers had to let Notshe go

You Need Posted on by

There was a moment when watching television last Saturday afternoon that Stormers coach John Dobson had to remind himself that he wasn’t a Sharks supporter and that they were in fact the team his men have to go out to beat on Saturday to restore their pride and prime position in the South African conference race.

According to SuperSport.com, it came when Sikhumbuzo Notshe, the man everyone in Durban appears to be talking about ahead of the eagerly awaited Super Rugby derby, went over to score a spectacular try after taking a pass off a quick tap from Louis Schreuder.

They’re both former Stormers players, so maybe it was easy for Dobson to be momentarily transported into another reality.

But it was Notshe doing so well that excited him, that had him suddenly doing a double take and remembering that his former prodigy is one of the big threats that his own team will have to blunt in the opposition line-up this weekend.

“Notshe may be playing for another team now but he is a really good friend of mine, and remains a good friend, so it was a weird experience,” said Dobson of watching Notshe score against the Jaguares.

“You watch him score and you shout ‘Yes!’ And then you remember, ‘Oh shoot, we are playing against him next week’. I want him to do well at the Sharks, but hopefully he won’t do too well on Saturday.”

There was another reason that Dobson enjoyed seeing Notshe score against the Jaguares.

He sees the Argentine side as a big threat in the conference race as he knows how difficult they are going to be for the South African teams to play against in Buenos Aires.

Once they get a run of form going, they are hard to stop, as they showed on their way to topping the conference last year.

But it was mainly on a personal level that he wants to see Notshe, a player he himself mentored for a long time, do well for the Sharks.

RIGHT DECISION

While there are many who question how Dobson could have let Notshe leave Cape Town to move to Durban given how he is playing now, the reality is that Dobson never wanted him to leave and did make a counter-offer to the sizeable one that was made to the No 8 by the Sharks.

At the same time though, he had to be honest, and ultimately that honesty might well have turned out the best for Notshe and, indirectly, the Sharks.

“I am being sincere when I say he is a good friend, we are house friends. You can be emotional about the way he is playing now, but the reality is that we were in a situation last year where we had to trim a squad of 70 to 45. Notshe has been capped a few times for the Springboks and he wants to play for the Boks again.

“To play for the Boks you need to be playing regular Super Rugby, to be starting in Super Rugby. He came around to my house when he got the offer from the Sharks and we discussed it. He wanted to know could I guarantee him a start in every game. On his form of last year I could not guarantee him that if you consider the players we have.

“Siya Kolisi started the year at No 8. Then we have Trokkie (Juarno Augustus), who was a Junior World Player of the Year not that long ago. Jaco Coetzee is also a very good player and is also a No 8. It would have been irresponsible of me to guarantee him a starting place given the competition for places in his position.

“So we shook hands on it. We had a beer at my house, we wanted to keep him and we made him an offer. But we had to look at the reality of the game time he would get. I always knew if he was given a good extended run he could come through.

“The style of rugby the Sharks play suits him. The turnover emphasis and the space they play for suits him. At the time we made the decision it was the right decision for us and I think we have seen now that it was the right decision for him too. He made the right move.”

Dobson is aware that Notshe could hurt his former team on Saturday and says he regards him as a massive threat.

“It is hard to shut down Notshe once he is in space, that is why I was disappointed we weren’t able to create enough of those opportunities for him here at the Stormers in the last few years. Make no mistake, he can do the hard yards too. He played for us in the 2017 Currie Cup final against the Sharks at King’s Park as a No 6. No-one saw him but jeepers he worked hard,” said Dobson.

“We will keep an eye on him, we can’t afford to let him get the space he has enjoyed the last few weeks.”

News24.com | Coronavirus: Gauteng woman discharged from hospital, isolated at home

You Need Posted on by

A woman who tested positive for the coronavirus in Gauteng was discharged from Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital on Tuesday.  

Gauteng health spokesperson Kwara Kekana confirmed that the woman was discharged late in the afternoon. She was the second person in the country to test positive.

The 39-year-old woman formed part of a group of travellers who returned from Italy on 1 March. Six other people in the group also tested positive.

Kekana said the woman would remain under observation by the National Institute for Communicable Diseases and hospital staff while she is isolated at home. 

“We are still waiting for the final results from [the] NICD while she is at home. They are going to continue monitoring her,” she said. 

Inspection

Meanwhile, on Wednesday morning, Gauteng Premier David Makhura and Health MEC Bandile Masuku conducted an inspection of Steve Biko Academic Hospital in Pretoria.

The hospital has been identified as one of the three facilities for coronavirus patients. The other two are Charlotte Maxeke and Tembisa.

Briefing the premier and MEC at the designated isolation ward, the head of infectious diseases at Steve Biko Academic Hospital, Professor Anton Stoltz, said they used negative pressure inside the ward and that it was safe.

“When we come in here, we are fully dressed up,” he added.

Stoltz said they also tried to move the number of particles inside the room and that there was enough air entering the room. 

“It’s negative pressure (inside the ward). Nothing goes to the hospital when we see the patients here if we think they’re ill. [For example,] over the weekend I admitted a patient. She tested negative but still she had to stay in here until I have proven that and then she can go out,” the professor said.

South Africa has 13 cases, including six new ones which Mkhize announced on Wednesday morning.

A South African National Defence Force (SANDF) team boarded a chartered flight from OR Tambo International Airport on Tuesday night so that they could repatriate 122 South Africans from Wuhan, China. 

They are expected back in the country on Friday.
