I le Iunaite Setete, e tusa ma le 17% o mataupu fou Covid e mafua mai i le EG.5 fesuiaiga, e tusa ai ma fuainumera mai le US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). O le fesuiaiga o le EG o se faʻasologa o le XBB recombinant strain o le aiga Omicron.
Pe a faatusatusa i lona matua XBB.1.9.2, e tasi le suiga faaopoopo i lona spike i le tulaga 465. O lenei suiga na aliali mai i isi coronavirus variants muamua. E le o mautinoa e saienitisi po o a togafiti fou e mafai ai ona faia e le siama, ae o tagata tulimanu eseese o loʻo gauai atu, ona o le toʻatele o fanau fou a le XBB ua latou faʻaaogaina.
O le suiga 465 o loʻo iai i le tusa ma le 35% o faʻasologa o le coronavirus na lipotia i le lalolagi atoa, e aofia ai ma le isi o loʻo faʻatupulaʻia i le itu i matu sasaʻe, FL.1.5.1, faʻailoa mai o loʻo faʻaalia ai se ituaiga o suiga faʻaleleia nai lo lomiga muamua. EG.5 foi ua i ai nei lana lava lala, EG.5.1, e faaopoopo ai se suiga lona lua i le spike. O lena foi ua sosolo vave.
Polofesa o Microbiology ma Immunology, Dr. David Ho, sa suʻeina nei suiga i lana fale suesue i Columbia University e iloa ai pe faʻafefea ona latou tetee atu i antibodies e tatau ona tatou puipuia mai ia i latou. I se imeli i le CNN, na ia fai mai ai, “O ia mea uma e lua e na o sina mea e sili atu ona teteʻe i le faʻafitia o antibodies i serum o faʻamaʻi ma tui tagata. ”
Na taʻua e Dr. Eric Topol, o se fomaʻi fatu i le Scripps Translational Research Institute, i le falemaʻi o nei fesuiaiga e foliga mai e le mafua ai ni faʻailoga eseese pe sili atu ona ogaoga nai lo siama na muamua atu ia i latou.
"O loʻo i ai le tele o le sola ese mai le puipuiga pe a faʻatusatusa i mea na muamua i lenei XBB faasologa," o lana tala lea.
"E i ai se tulaga lelei, o le mea lea e maua ai vae i le lalolagi atoa."
I tua atu o le US, EG.5 o loʻo faʻatupulaia vave i Aialani, Farani, Peretania, Iapani, ma Saina. O le Faalapotopotoga o le Soifua Maloloina a le Lalolagi (WHO) fa'aleleia lona tulaga i le vaiaso talu ai mai se suiga o lo'o mata'ituina i se fesuiaiga o tului, o se gaioiga e fa'ailoa ai le manatu o le lala sooupu e tatau ona siaki ma su'esu'e atili.
O le fesuiaiga ua avea ma mea sili ona taatele i le US e pei lava o mataupu, asiasiga i potu faʻafuaseʻi, ma falemaʻi o loʻo alu aʻe, e ui lava e leai se mea e taʻu mai ai o lenei faʻalavelave faʻapitoa o le mea lea e faʻateleina ai na faʻaopoopoga.
Nai lo lena, o loʻo faʻasino e le epidemiologists amioga a tagata e avea ma afi mo lenei faʻateleina o gaioiga. Latou te faʻasino i mea e pei o le taumafanafana - o le toʻatele o tagata e nonofo i totonu o le fale mo le ea malulu, femalagaiga e lafo tagata i fafo atu o latou masani faʻaagafesootai, ma le aʻoga o loʻo toe foʻi i le sauniga lea e lauiloa ai siama i le sosolo pei o le afi.
Fai mai Dr. Anne Hahn, o se sui o le postdoctoral i le Matagaluega o Epidemiology of Microbial Diseases i le Yale School of Public Health, e iai mafuaʻaga e faʻamoemoe ai o lenei galu o Covid o le a le leaga tele.
"O loʻo matou amata mai i se laina maualalo maualalo faʻatasi ma le maualuga o le puipuiga o le faitau aofaʻi, lea o le a tetee atu i se siʻitaga tele i se taimi lata mai. Ae ui i lea, o mea o le a faia e nei suiga fou i le taimi o le taumalulu e tumau pea ona vaʻaia, ”o lana tala lea.
Ole maualuga ole siama na maua ile suavai leaga ia Aukuso e tusa ma le mea na i ai ia Mati, e tusa ai ma faʻamaumauga mai le Biobot Analytics.
"Ou te faʻamoemoe o le a tele faʻamaʻi pipisi, ma ou te faʻamoemoe o na faʻamaʻi pipisi e masani lava ona mama," o le tala lea a Dr. Dan Barouch, o se immunologist ma virologist i le Iunivesite o Harvard i Boston.
le WHO fautuaga tu pea: fai tui, ufiufi, tausia se mamao saogalemu, fa'amama, ma afai e te su'esu'e lelei ia fa'aesea oe se'ia e leaga.
OA MEA E AVEA MAI LENEI TUSI:
- The World Health Organization (WHO) upgraded its status last week from a variant under monitoring to a variant of interest, a move that signals the agency thinks it should be tracked and studied further.
- Anne Hahn, a postdoctoral associate in the Department of Epidemiology of Microbial Diseases at the Yale School of Public Health says there are reasons to be hopeful this current wave of Covid cases won't be so bad.
- The variant has become the most prevalent in the US just as cases, emergency room visits, and hospitalizations are going up, although there's nothing to suggest that this specific strain is what's driving those increases.
