More mutations in the virus alarm bells, speed may spread faster than before

Posted on 7th May 2020 by rohit kumar

The corona virus is making every effort to spread its infection worldwide. Scientists at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in the United States have found that the 14th mutation has been observed in the 'spike protein' of the corona virus. In such a situation, one needs to be more vigilant. It can be more dangerous than before. Caution is the simplest defense.

 

In a 33-page report, Dr. Bett Coberr has said that this is a dangerous moment. We have seen that the virus is rapidly mutating with a dangerous form. This is completely different from the early days of the outbreak. Seeing this, it can be said that the virus that was stained in March has become more dangerous than that.

As more viruses spread among the population, the scope of infection will increase locally and the rate of spread will also be faster than before. However, it has not been clarified whether the virus will be more deadly than before or it will be as heavy as the old Stan. Yes, it is definitely that the old form of the virus will end and people will fall prey to new types of infection.

Disappointment among teams approaching to make vaccine

Scientists have reached this conclusion after analyzing the genetic sequencing of six thousand samples taken from all over the world. If the virus keeps changing the stain in this manner, then the scientists who are in the final stages of making its vaccine may be disappointed. It is possible that due to changing the stain of the virus, it may not affect the patients. In such a situation, the mutations of the virus along with its treatment and prevention methods have to be considered.

 

Virus weakening: Arizona State University of America claims that the virus will weaken over time and the body's immunity will be able to combat it. In a sample study of 382 patients, scientists found that a sample was missing the genetic material of a large number of viruses.

 

A similar change was observed in the 2003 SARS virus after which it became weak. If this is the case in Corona, it will soon end with weakening.

200 genetic changes so far

British scientists have claimed that SARS-Cove-2, which is responsible for Covid-19 (Corona virus), has undergone genetic changes nearly 200 times so far and is constantly changing its jeans to keep pace with the human body. Used to be. This claim has been made after analyzing the virus genes found in samples of more than 7500 infected patients globally.

 

It is believed that this discovery can help in making this deadly epidemic drug and vaccine. The study from University College London has been published in the science journal 'Infection, Genetics and Evolution'. This study characterizes the pattern of variation of the virus's genome.

 

Researchers found that a large proportion of the global genetic diversity of SARS-Cove-2 was present in countries badly affected by corona. This spread was occurring in these countries despite the absence of a single 'Patient-0' (the patient that triggered the epidemic).

Vaccine can be made from genome with low mutation

Scientists have identified 198 mutations that have appeared independently more than once. These can help to know how the virus is spreading. Researchers said that genomes that have had very few mutations can be used to make vaccines. Balox said the challenge is whether vaccines or drugs that prevent it can be effective in the long run?
