– Actually XE is not very new. It has been detected for several months. It was found for the first time since January 19 last.
– Epidemiological report of the World Health Organization on March 29, has stated XE species May spread approximately 10% faster than the now-dominant BA.2 strain (regarding 600 XE sequencing has been reported).
– but experts say The general public doesn’t have to worry regarding XE as the news flows. It is not likely that XE will be a special threat. Now it’s just scientifically interesting.
– Structurally (see illustration, purple line) XE is basically an omikron subspecies BA.2 with some gene fragments from BA.1 at the end of its genome.. . Thorn protein part It’s still the same as BA.2.
– Although XE is becoming more common in many countries especially in England But it is unlikely that it will dodge, become resistant to vaccines and the body’s immune defenses that still deal with it.Omikron Prevent the infected person from becoming seriously ill.
– The hybridization of the virus It’s hard to predict whether it’s more dangerous than the deti or not. which scared each other is that it might be accidental in a dangerous manner from the two originals coming together.
– Currently, the Omicron BA.2 is still the main species. The epidemic in England and is becoming a predominant species in the United States
Plus an illustration from Dr. Tom Peacock, a virus expert. that updates the genetic structure of the coronavirus hybrid Various species on April 4th ago
You can see that there are a lot of them, including XE , XR , XL , XN , XP , XQ (the UK BA.1 x BA.2 ), XG , XH , HJ , HK , XM (the international BA.1 x BA.2) and XF , XD , XS (the Delta x BA.1)
