COVID-19 does not appear to mutate as quickly as the flu in what Australia’s national science research officials say is an encouraging sign for vaccine developers. An increasingly common mutation of the novel coronavirus found in Europe, North America and parts of Asia may be more infectious but appears … Each story published is thoroughly edited for any margin of error by him, and only then published. "It is in the virus' interest to infect more people but not to kill them because a virus depends on the host for food and for shelter," he said.Scientists discovered the mutation as early as February and it has circulated in Europe and the Americas, the World Health Organization said. The mutation - known as D6146 - was discovered in four cases from two separate COVID-19 clusters in the country. This was followed by a disease expert claiming D614G may be more infectious but less deadly, potentially explaining falling COVID-19 fatality rates around […] These include that more young people are catching the virus than were in March, April and May; that doctors are becoming better at Another factor that may be at play is that some of the most susceptible have died, leaving behind a “more robust human population” with a lower risk of dying. When a virus infects a host, it make new copies of its genetic data so it can replicate.

Paul Tambyah, senior consultant at the National University of … In the past few days, Google searches for D614G in the U.S. have spiked amid reports suggesting a “new strain” of the The germs are made up of genetic material, called RNA, encased in protein. He is a wonderful leader, under whom the blog has reached new heights of journalistic success. It is also unlikely to affect vaccine development, and drops in deaths can’t be pinned to one factor alone.Mutations may sound alarming, but they are a normal part of the life-cycle of viruses.The D614G mutation affects one amino acid on the spike protein that the virus uses to invade our cells. This process leads to small changes in the virus’ genetic information, called mutations.According to Oscar MacLean, a bioinformatician at the Centre for Virus Research at the University of Glasgow, there have been more than 20,000 mutations to the Pedestrians wearing a face mask or covering due to the More research is needed to prove that the declining death rate is because of the new strain and not because of other factors, he said.

"(The) variants are almost identical and did not change areas that our immune system typically recognise, so there shouldn't be any difference for vaccines being developed," said Maurer-Stroh. An increasingly common mutation of the novel coronavirus found in Europe, North America and parts of Asia may be more infectious but appears less deadly, according to a prominent infectious diseases doctor. He said it “almost always co-exists” with another mutation which affects how the virus replicates its genetic material.D614G “has been the dominant form of SARS-CoV-2 in Europe and the USA for a while now,” he said.Echoing MacLean, Dr Julian Tang, honorary associate professor in respiratory sciences at the University of Leicester, said in a statement “it is likely now the predominant SARS-CoV-2 genotype in most parts of the world now.”“By the definition of possessing unique mutations, we would have thousands of ‘strains’ of SARS-CoV-2 [the coronavirus], however these viruses are all expected to be functionally very similar, and so it’s somewhat meaningless to use this definition,” he said.Ian Jones, professor of virology at the U.K.’s University of Reading, told At this stage in the pandemic, it seems “very likely” the combination of two mutation he previously described increases its ability to spread, said MacLean, adding: “however there’s uncertainty around how large this effect is.”The combination of the amount of data coming out of the pandemic and the “constantly shifting situation” of the pandemic make it easy to compare things and find correlations “just by chance,” he said.Jones said it is “very premature” to conclude from anecdotal reports that the virus is getting weaker in patients.“Knowledge of how to treat patients also increases with time so there could be lots of reasons why the death rate falls, including that treatments are improving,” he said.Paul Hunter, professor in medicine at The Norwich School of Medicine, University of East Anglia, said in a statement that while it is “certainly plausible” that D614G would become more infectious and less deadly, “it is not clear what real evidence is behind this statement or whether it is simply a suggestion.”It’s not possible to say the mutation causes a less severe disease without completing a comparative analysis with the parent strain, he said.Tang said: “vaccines based on the previous form of the virus should still be effective – though further mutations may well occur by the time these vaccines are licensed for general use.”The founder of our blog, Thomas, is also the writer for the General News, US News and Business News column of KYR News.
