The Mu variant, also known as lineage B.1.621 or VUI-21JUL-1, is one of the variants of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. It was first detected in Colombia in January 2021 and was designated by the WHO as a variant of interest on August 30, 2021. [ 200 ]
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 Delta variant (B.1.617.2) was [3] [4] a variant of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. It was first detected in India on 5 October 2020. It was first detected in India on 5 October 2020. The Delta variant was named on 31 May 2021 and had spread to over 179 countries by 22 November 2021.
Omicron (B.1.1.529) is a variant of SARS-CoV-2 first reported to the World Health Organization (WHO) by the Network for Genomics Surveillance in South Africa on 24 November 2021. [ 10 ] [ 11 ] It was first detected in Botswana and has spread to become the predominant variant in circulation around the world. [ 12 ]
This timeline of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant (November 2021 – February 2022) is a dynamic list, and as such may never satisfy criteria of completeness. Some events may only be fully understood and/or discovered in retrospect.
The Eta variant is a variant of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.The Eta variant or lineage B.1.525, also called VUI-21FEB-03 (previously VUI-202102/03) by Public Health England (PHE) and formerly known as UK1188, 21D or 20A/S:484K, 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 ...
The Lambda variant, also known as lineage C.37, is a variant of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. [1] It was first detected in Peru in August 2020. [ 2 ] On 14 June 2021, the World Health Organization (WHO) named it Lambda variant [ 1 ] and designated it as a variant of interest . [ 3 ]
The team at PANGO behind manually curating the phylogenetic tree of SARS-CoV-2 noted the earliest sequence was from 7 December 2020. They proposed a new designation for the variant containing the mutations at the spike protein including G142D, L452R, E484Q, D614G, P681R among others and this variant went to be assigned PANGO lineage B.1.617 on ...
