Sustainable tourists, generous consumers, lifestyle inspirers: the attitudes and expectations of Zadar’s local authorities vis-à-vis digital nomads by Aris Dougas Chavarria

“…Among other relevant contributions, this paper suggests that digital nomads might rather be thought of as “short-term locals” instead of “long-term tourists” regarding their consumption patterns; argues that tourism stakeholders conceive digital nomads as off-season tourist boosters but not a main tourist target group; and hints at the fact that digital nomad knowledge transfer is unlikely to occur without the needed platforms. …”

Reverse mutational scanning of SARS-CoV-2 spike BA.2.86 identifies epitopes contributing to immune escape from polyclonal sera by Najat Bdeir, Tatjana Lüddecke, Henrike Maaß, Stefan Schmelz, Ulfert Rand, Henning Jacobsen, Kristin Metzdorf, Upasana Kulkarni, Anne Cossmann, Metodi V. Stankov, Markus Hoffmann, Stefan Pöhlmann, Wulf Blankenfeldt, Alexandra Dopfer-Jablonka, Georg M. N. Behrens, Luka Čičin-Šain

“…Interestingly, 16insMPLF within the spike N-terminal domain and P621S within S1/S2 also significantly contribute to antibody escape of BA.2.86. Upon XBB.1.5 booster vaccination, neutralization titers against JN.1 and BA.2.86 improve considerably, and residual immune escape is driven by 16insMPLF, N460K, E554K, and to a lesser extent P621S, and A484K.…”

The rapid rise of SARS‐CoV‐2 Omicron subvariants with immune evasion properties: XBB.1.5 and BQ.1.1 subvariants by Danyi Ao, Xuemei He, Weiqi Hong, Xiawei Wei

“…Recently, two Omicron subvariants, BQ.1 and XBB lineages, including BQ.1.1, XBB.1, and XBB.1.5, have become a global public health issue given their ability to escape from therapeutic monoclonal antibodies and herd immunity induced by prior coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) vaccines, boosters, and infection. In this respect, XBB.1.5, which has been established to harbor a rare mutation F486P, demonstrates superior transmissibility and immune escape ability compared to other subvariants and has emerged as the dominant strain in several countries. …”
