The XBB.1.5 subvariant is spreading worldwide

The new subvariant of the corona virus XBB.1.5 - has been found not only in the USA, where it accounts for about 50% of current Covid infections. Infections with the XBB.1.5 variant are also reported from Europe, India and Singapore.

"It is likely that XBB.1.5 will become the dominant variant in Europe, possibly even by the end of January. But we will get it under control, there's no doubt about that," said Paul Hunter, an epidemiologist at the University of East Anglia in Great Britain.

XBB.1.5 is easier to stream

XBB.1.5 është një nënvariant i Omikronit, dhe aktualisht është varianti dominues i virusit korona në mbarë botën. XBB.1.5 është një nënvariant "i rikombinuar" i Omikronit, që do të thotë se përmban material gjenetik nga nënvariante të ndryshme të virusit korona.

"Që kur zbuluam disa muaj më parë nënvariantin XBB, ai ka krijuar disa mutacione dhe ka evoluar. Kjo do të thotë se virusi XBB.1.5 ia del më mirë që të shmangë imunitetin e trupit," tha Hunter.

Sistemi imunitar e njeh nënvariantin XBB.1.5, por reagon më ngadalë. Kjo do të thotë që virusi XBB.1.5 ka më shumë kohë për t'u shumuar, duke rritur shanset për t'u infektuar me COVID.

A është XBB.1.5 më i rrezikshëm se variantet e tjera?

Data so far from the US suggest that XBB.1.5 is no more lethal than other Omicron subvariants. "We know from reliable sources in the US that people infected with the XBB.1.5 variant do not have severe Covid symptoms," says Hunter.

However, experts fear that if XBB.1.5 spreads rapidly, the large number of infections will increase the number of people with severe symptoms similar to those of other Omicron subvariants./DW
