New COVID-19 variants continue to pop up. Experts explain how many COVID variants there are, important subvariants, and the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Iota variant, [188] also known as lineage B.1.526, is one of the variants of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. It was first detected in New York City in November 2020. The variant has appeared with two notable mutations: the E484K spike mutation, which may help the virus evade antibodies, and the S477N mutation, which helps the virus ...
Delta (B.617.2) First identified in India in late 2020, the delta variant soon spread across the globe. It became the dominant variant of SARS-CoV-2 until the emergence of omicron in December 2021.
The continued spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus has spawned a Greek alphabet of variants - a naming system used by the World Health Organization to track concerning new mutations of the virus that ...
Several rapid antigen tests for SARS-CoV-2 are in widespread use globally for COVID-19 diagnostics. They are believed to be useful in stopping the chain of transmission of the virus by providing the means to rapidly identify large numbers of cases as part of a mass-testing program.
False-colour transmission electron micrograph of a B.1.1.7 variant coronavirus. The variant's increased transmissibility is believed to be due to changes in the structure of the spike proteins, shown here in green. There are many thousands of variants of SARS-CoV-2, which can be grouped into the much larger clades. [142]
After a fairly quiet spring, COVID-19 cases are on the rise again in the U.S. and SARS-COV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, keeps churning out new variants. The latest is a trio, KP.2, KP.3, and ...
