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.
Examples of this include Alpha, Beta, Delta, and Omicron. Variants are further broken down into subvariants with labels like EG.5, or “Eris,” or XBB.1.16.6 —both are subvariants of Omicron ...
The Eta variant or lineage B.1.525, also called VUI-21FEB-03 [30] (previously VUI-202102/03) by Public Health England (PHE) and formerly known as UK1188, [30] 21D [75] or 20A/S:484K, [98] does not carry the same N501Y mutation found in Alpha, Beta and Gamma, but carries the same E484K-mutation as found in the Gamma, Zeta, and Beta variants, and ...
British epidemiologist Tim Spector said in mid-December 2021 that the majority of symptoms of the Omicron variant were the same as a common cold, including headaches, sore throat, runny nose, fatigue and sneezing, so that people with cold symptoms should take a test. "Things like fever, cough and loss of smell are now in the minority of ...
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 ...
However, on July 9, Public Health England reported that the Delta variant in England had a case fatality rate (CFR) of 0.2%, while the Alpha variant's case fatality rate was 1.9%, although the report warns that "case fatality rates are not comparable across variants as they have peaked at different points in the pandemic, and so vary in ...

While the alpha and beta genera are derived from the bat viral gene pool, the gamma and delta genera are derived from the avian and pig viral gene pools. [1] Recombination appears to be common among deltacoronaviruses. [2] Recombination occurs frequently in the viral genome region that encodes the host receptor binding protein.
