The Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in Braunschweig is establishing a new Helmholtz Institute in Greifswald, which shall bring together the individual competencies in the field of molecular infection research of the University of Greifswald, University Medicine Greifswald and the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut in one joint institute of the HZI. The financial means for setting up the Institute - 23 million euros for the new building and more than 35 million euros for the initialisation phase - have now been allocated by the Federal Government and the State of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. In Greifswald, Prof Katharina Riedel is coordinating this initiation phase as provisional founding director.

They are pathogens on contaminated food: Listeria bacteria can cause symptoms such as fever and diarrhoea, lead to premature births or miscarriages, or cause a deadly infection in people with a compromised immune system. Scientists at Technische Universität Braunschweig have found a new biomarker, a molecular feature, for the bacteria and generated new antibodies for the pathogens. The results could be used in diagnostics to further improve diagnostic procedures. The study involved the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI), the Leibniz Institute DSMZ-German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures and the Universities Federal do Agreste de Pernambuco and Federal de Pelotas, Brazil. The study was recently published in the journal Scientific Reports.

Mild or asymptomatic infections with the SARS coronavirus-2 are often not detected. Antibody studies can provide reliable information on what percentage of the population has already been infected with SARS-CoV-2. The Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in Braunschweig is coordinating a nationwide study to determine the spread of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. Population samples will be examined in ten selected regions until summer 2021. From 14 October, around 3000 test persons from the city and district of Osnabrück will be invited to take part in the antibody test.

In a joint study of the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI), the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE), and the Heinrich-Pette-Institute, Leibniz Institute for Experimental Virology (HPI), the origins of the first SARS-CoV-2 outbreak in May 2020 at Tönnies in Rheda-Wiedenbrück, Germany's largest meat processing complex, were investigated. The study was published on the preprint platform SSRN in July 2020. The results have now been peer-reviewed and were published in the journal EMBO Molecular Medicine.

Even though we have been living with the COVID- pandemic for more than half a year, there are still many unanswered questions and major uncertainties regarding further infection. How will the epidemic develop in Germany – especially during the upcoming flu season and the cold autumn and winter months? Which strategies are particularly effective in containing the rising number of infections in Germany and worldwide? What has proved successful in recent months? What properties of SARS-CoV- are now understood? And what measures can be imposed for the population and the economy without restricting social life too much?
