The term variant of concern (VOC) for SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, is a category used for variants of the virus where mutations in their spike protein receptor binding domain (RBD) substantially increase binding affinity (e.g., N501Y) in RBD-hACE2 complex (genetic data), while also being linked to rapid spread in human populations ...
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.
FLiRT (KP.1.1, KP.2, and KP.3) and LB.1. FLiRT variants are subvariants of omicron and were responsible for most COVID-19 cases in the U.S. by the beginning of July 2024.
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 ...
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]

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 ...
In week 8, the variant was found to have a dominant share of 56.4% (758/1345) according to the interpretable results of a weekly genome sequencing survey comprising 0.9% of all COVID-19 positive tests, or 59.5% according to a variant-specific RT-PCR survey testing 54% of all the COVID-19 positive tests.
