Tracking #SARSCoV2 #Convergent #Lineages** over time - Globally | 10/5/2022

BQ.1 (#Typhon)/BQ.1.1(#Cerberus) is currently at the top & BA.2.75.2* (#Chiron) is not far behind!

Granular details - "Convergent Quintet"

BQ.1/BQ.1.1 and BA.2.75.2 are heading the charts!

2/n Image
Tracked #Convergent #lineages are predicted to be immune evasive and bind to host ACE2 receptor better than Omicron.BA2

XBB is most immune evasive
Most BA.2.75* binds better to ACE2 receptors

Closely watched lineages - XBB, CA.1, BQ.1.1, BN.1, BR.3

3/n Image
#Singapore is a #XBB* hotspot (#30DayTrends)

4/n Image
#UnitedKingdom, #USA, #France, #Denmark and #Belgium are BQ.1.1* hotspots (#30DayTrends)
