Granular details #Global #20DayTrends

This analysis includes all designated #SARSCoV2 sequences submitted to @GISAID with sample collection dates on or after 04/09/2023 (14,137 sequences) Image
#USA, #Austria, #France & #Canada have submitted a lion's share of sequences with sample collection dates on or after 04/09/2023 ...followed by #UnitedKingdom, #Australia, #Germany, #Sweden, #SouthKorea, #Singapore, #China, #Spain Image
In Silico Immune escape and ACE2 receptor binding scores (relative to BA.2)*

Data is intended to prioritize select lineages to generate rapid laboratory experiments to gauge immune escape and ACE2 binding affinity.

Excellent SARSCoV2 Variant report
by @richardneher @CorneliusRoemer
“Currently, XBB.1.16 is the big dog” ... “It’s picking up mutations that are common in other variants that will increase its advantage further.”

#H5N1 #AvianInfluenza updates

New @NEJM case report describing severe human illness caused by highly pathogenic avian influenza A -H5N1 in #BritishColumbia (#Canada) teenager with evidence of potential viral adaptation to humans.

A 13-year-old girl with mild asthma and obesity (BMI >35) presented with conjunctivitis, fever, respiratory distress, and multi-organ complications was hospitalized on 11/7/24, and required intensive care, including ECMO and continuous renal therapy

2/n
RT-PCR confirmed A/H5N1 infection, and the virus was linked to wild birds in British Columbia.

Genetic analysis revealed mutations in the HA protein (E186D, Q222H), associated with increased binding to human airway receptors, facilitating viral entry and replication.
