Discovery process of Delta velvet
2022109/00 65438, reported by Israeli media. Researchers at the University of Cyprus have discovered a new virus. The virus is a new virus recombined by Omix and Delta. This group has been studying the variation of this virus. 1377 samples were selected for sequencing, and 25 people were infected with this new virus. It was found that the gene arrangement of the patient was close to that of Delta virus, but it had the unique variation of 10 of Omik velvet. Among these 25 infected people, 14 were hospitalized. Through analysis, it is found that this virus is more likely to exist in hospitalized patients. The genome of this strain has been uploaded to the international database by the team. This is done to facilitate observation of variation. Whether it is easy to get sick or infected.
Controversy about the new virus
Researchers also have some disputes about the discovery of this strain. Thomas Picock, a postdoctoral researcher in Imperial College London, London, claimed that there are some indications that the so-called Delta Male strain may also be the result of sequencing contaminated genes. Studies have shown that recombination is very common in coronaviruses. According to the research results published in the journal Nature by researchers from Duke University and related institutions in July 2020, recombination is likely to be the way to guide new viruses to acquire the ability to infect humans. In August, 20021,American research institutions published a paper saying that the emergence of new virus variants was caused by accelerated recombination.
How to prevent COVID-19?
In the face of virus mutation, what we can do is to constantly change 1, wash our hands frequently, suggest using soap or running water, or try to use antibacterial hand sanitizer with high alcohol content. 2. Indoor ventilation. 3, go out, wear a mask reasonably. 4. Cooperate with community work and inject COVID-19 vaccine.
