Iba't ibang variant ng Covid, bibigyan na ng pangalan

ni Mary Gutierrez Almirañez | June 2, 2021





Nadiskubre ng World Health Organizations (WHO) ang Delta variant ng COVID-19, bilang pangatlong mutations ng naturang virus at itinuturing na dahilan kaya mabilis ang hawahan nito sa India.


Ayon pa sa WHO COVID-19 technical lead na si Maria Van Kerkhove, "We know that the B.1.617.2, the Delta variant, does have increased transmissibility, which means it can spread easier between people.”


Dagdag niya, “What we understand is that it is this B.1.617.2 variant with one additional deletion in the location of the spike protein.”


Nitong May 31 lamang ay inianunsiyo ng WHO na ipapangalan na nila ang mga variant of concerned ng COVID-19 alinsunod sa Greek alphabet upang maiwasan ang pagkalito at diskriminasyon kapag ibinase iyon sa bansang pinagmulan ng mutations, katulad ng Indian variant, South African variant, UK variant at Brazilian variant.


Sa ngayon ay tatawagin nang Alpha variant ang B.1.1.7 lineages ng UK variant, habang Beta variant naman ang itatawag sa B.1.351 lineages ng South African variant, Gamma variant para sa P.1 lineages ng Brazilian variant, at Delta variant sa B.1.617.2 lineages ng Indian variant.
