Predicted Immune Escape and ACE2 binding of top lineages in USA (relative to BA.2)
Bivalent boosters (OG/Omicron.BA.5) will potentially protect the boosted from getting severe disease/hospitalizations. Get updated if you haven't already!
Recombinant #SARSCoV2 lineage #XEC (recombinant of KS.1.1/KP.3.3) has the potential to outcompete other circulating lineages in #USA (and other countries)
More data is needed to provide a reliable growth advantage estimates
KP.3.1.1* is the top circulating group of lineages in the world. This analysis includes #SARSCoV2 sequences submitted to @GISAID with sample collection dates on or after 07/25/2024 (14,688 sequences)
2/n
@GISAID Thanks to all the countries that are still supporting #SARSCoV2 testing and rapidly submitting sequences to @GISAID
