Immunity against Covid-19 may persist for at least five months after being infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, according to a study led by an Indian-origin researcher in the US. The researchers from the University of Arizona Health Sciences studied the production of antibodies from a sample of nearly 6,000 people infected with the novel coronavirus.

The question of how long immunity lasts against COVID-19 is one step closer to being answered, according to a new study by researchers from the University of Arizona Health Sciences. Deepta Bhattacharya, associate professor and immunologist at the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Tucson is interviewed.

Should you or your guests fly? Should you take that likely much-needed vacation or push it to the equally uncertain future? Is air travel really that risky? To find out, The Show spoke with Paloma Beamer, associate professor in the College of Public Health at the University of Arizona. She’s an exposure scientist, who studies how people are exposed to disease — and designs ways for people to avoid it.

A new study published yesterday by scientists at the University of Arizona Health Sciences shows antibodies to the coronavirus disease last for at least five months after infection.

Using a highly accurate test they developed, University of Arizona Health Sciences researchers have shown that antibodies persist for months after infection.

Health Sciences researcher Dr. Jun Wang says the world can be better prepared for the next viral outbreak by supporting infectious disease research now.

COVID-19 patients may produce antibodies for at least five months after initial infection, according to a study published in the journal Immunity. Researchers at the University of Arizona Health Sciences in Tucson analyzed antibody production from 5,882 blood samples collected in Arizona's Pima County as part of a larger effort to create and validate a COVID-19 antibody test.

As President Trump recovers from COVID-19 and travels around the country for campaign events he has said that he is now possibly immune. Dr. Shad Marvasti at the University of Arizona College of Medicine talks about what we know and what we have learned about the coronavirus and immunity.

People sickened with COVID-19 produce "high-quality" antibodies against the virus five to seven months after they become infected, according to an analysis published Tuesday by the journal Immunity. The findings suggest that those infected with the new coronavirus potentially can develop long-lasting immunity to it, researchers from the University of Arizona Health Sciences said.
