“Mr. Thira” updates the COVID-19 strain EG.5.1, a candidate that may lead to an outbreak at the end of this year. ready to compare the symptoms of COVID-19 various species
On August 6, 2023 Assoc.Prof.Dr.Theera Worathanarat or “Doctor Thira“Faculty of Medicine Chulalongkorn University Facebook post updates the issue. “COVID-19” (Covid-19) stating that
Regarding EG.5.1, a favorite horse that may lead to an outbreak at the end of this year
It is a mutated subspecies from XBB.1.9.2, also known as XBB.1.9.2. XBB.1.9.2.5.1
In comparison, it was like a great-grandson of XBB and a great-grandson of XBB.1.9 and something like that.
what makes EG.5.1 It is now a global concern. The detection rate is increasing faster than the different species. Previous outbreaks, including XBB.1.5, XBB.1.16, as well as XBB.1.9.1/1.9.2
Until this moment, the information became clearer and clearer. that is as expected
The latest data from the US CDC estimates that until August 5, 2023, Omicron subspecies EG.5.1 It had the highest detection rate at 17.3%, ahead of other subspecies such as XBB.1.16 (15.6%), XBB.2.3 (11.2%), XBB.1.5 (10.3%).
While the UK HSA released its report on August 2, It suggests that EG.5.1 already accounts for 12% of detections in the UK and is on the rise.
Overall, it is now found around 20% in Asia, 10% in Europe, 7% in North America. (except in the United States, which is as high as 17.3%)
Why did EG.5.1 lead the others?
Last night’s data from Cao YR, Peking University. This suggests that EG.5.1 is genetically modified at F456L, which makes it more potent.immune evasionmuch more than the previous species.
interesting is Even immunogenic testing in the sera of people previously infected with the XBB strain was also found to be immune-resistant.
In addition, Cao YR has also found that various subspecies happened The change in position F456L in conjunction with L455F also requires monitoring. because it has the potential to make both more resistant to immunity and more tightly binds to the ACE2 receptor on the target cell surface. This may make it more likely to become infected and spread the infection. or more severe illness
However, the one that is most notable right now is EG.5.1 because it is clearly more widespread worldwide.
Factors including viruses that have improved performance In addition to the conditions that we tend to tend to like other countries in 6-10 weeks and the schedule of activities and festivals at the end of the year
following October There may be a chance that it will erupt. Should live a daily life consciously, not carelessly, always protect yourself. beware of crowded poor ventilation Do not share food with other people outside the home. wearing a mask correctly It will greatly reduce the risk.

Comparison of symptoms of COVID-19 various species
Team from the UK presenting the results of a comparative study of the symptoms of People infected with COVID-19 various species In the past, how are they similar or different?
Published in the scientific journal Scientific Reports on August 2, it was noted that Omicron That, whether it is BA.1, BA.2, BA.5, they all have quite a different illness from the previous species.
especially olfactory symptoms tongue can’t taste are often found in previous species Both primitive alpha delta species, but less common during Omicron.
The most notable symptoms of Omicron are cough, fatigue/fatigue, headache, muscle aches, sore throat, nasal congestion and runny nose.
