Zomwe timadziwa komanso zomwe sitikudziwa pa New COVID Variant

Povutikira kufotokoza kukwera kwadzidzidzi kwa milandu, asayansi adaphunzira zitsanzo za ma virus ndikupeza kusinthika kwatsopano.Tsopano, pafupifupi 90% ya milandu yatsopano ku Gauteng imayambitsidwa ndi izi, malinga ndi Tulio de Oliveira, mkulu wa KwaZulu-Natal Research Innovation and Sequencing Platform.

N’CHIFUKWA CHIYANI AKASAYANSI AKUDA NKHANI ZOKHUDZA KUSINTHA KWATSOPANO KU?

Atayitanitsa gulu la akatswiri kuti awone zomwe zidachitika, bungwe la WHO lidati "umboni woyamba ukuwonetsa chiwopsezo choyambukiridwanso ndi izi," poyerekeza ndi mitundu ina.

Izi zikutanthauza kuti anthu omwe adatenga COVID-19 ndikuchira atha kugwidwanso.

Zosinthazi zikuwoneka kuti zili ndi masinthidwe ambiri - pafupifupi 30 - mu mapuloteni a coronavirus, omwe amatha kukhudza momwe amafalira mosavuta kwa anthu.

Sharon Peacock, yemwe adatsogolera kutsatizana kwa chibadwa cha COVID-19 ku Britain ku yunivesite ya Cambridge, adati zomwe zachitika pakadali pano zikuwonetsa kuti kusinthaku kwasintha "kogwirizana ndi kufalikira," koma adati "kufunika kwa masinthidwe ambiri ndi. sichikudziwikabe.”

Lawrence Young, katswiri wa ma virus ku yunivesite ya Warwick, adalongosola omicron ngati "kachilombo kosinthika kwambiri komwe tidawonapo," kuphatikiza kusintha kodetsa nkhawa komwe sikunawonepo konse mu kachilombo komweko.

ZODZIWA CHIYANI KOMANSO ZOSADZIWA ZA KUSIYANA?

Asayansi akudziwa kuti omicron ndi yosiyana kwambiri ndi mitundu yam'mbuyomu kuphatikiza mitundu ya beta ndi delta, koma sakudziwa ngati kusintha kwa majiniku kumapangitsa kuti izitha kupatsirana kapena kuwopsa.Mpaka pano, palibe chomwe chikuwonetsa kuti kusiyanasiyana kumayambitsa matenda oopsa.

Zitha kutenga masabata kuti mudziwe ngati omicron ali ndi matenda opatsirana komanso ngati katemera akadali wothandiza polimbana nawo.

Peter Openshaw, pulofesa wa zamankhwala oyesera ku Imperial College London adati "ndizokayikitsa kwambiri" kuti katemera wamakono sangagwire ntchito, ponena kuti amagwira ntchito motsutsana ndi mitundu ina yambiri.

Ngakhale kusintha kwina kwa majini mu omicron kumawoneka kodetsa nkhawa, sizikudziwika ngati kungawononge thanzi la anthu.Mitundu ina yam'mbuyomu, monga mtundu wa beta, poyamba idadabwitsa asayansi koma sizinafalikire patali.

"Sitikudziwa ngati mtundu watsopanowu ungathe kuwonekera m'madera omwe delta ili," adatero Peacock wa pa yunivesite ya Cambridge."Oweruza akudziwa momwe izi zingakhalire bwino pomwe pali mitundu ina yomwe ikuzungulira."

Mpaka pano, delta ndiye mtundu wodziwika kwambiri wa COVID-19, womwe umakhala wopitilira 99% yamatsatidwe omwe atumizidwa kunkhokwe yayikulu kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi.

KODI KUSINTHA KWATSOPANO ZINADUKA BWANJI?

Coronavirus imasintha pamene ikufalikira ndipo mitundu yambiri yatsopano, kuphatikiza zomwe zili ndi vuto lakusintha kwa majini, nthawi zambiri zimangofa.Asayansi amawunika machitidwe a COVID-19 pakusintha komwe kungapangitse kuti matendawa athe kupatsirana kapena kupha, koma sangadziwe izi pongoyang'ana kachilomboka.

Peacock adati kusinthikako "mwina kunachitika mwa munthu yemwe ali ndi kachilomboka koma osatha kuchotsa kachilomboka, ndikupatseni mwayi kuti kachilomboka kasinthe," muzochitika zofanana ndi momwe akatswiri amaganizira za mitundu ya alpha - yomwe idadziwika koyamba ku England - zinatulukanso, posintha mwa munthu yemwe ali ndi chitetezo chamthupi.

KODI DZIKO ENA ZIMENE ZINGALEpheretse Maulendo AKULIMBIKITSA?

Mwina.

Israeli ikuletsa alendo kuti alowe m'chigawochi ndipo Morocco yayimitsa maulendo onse a ndege omwe akubwera.

Mayiko ena angapo akuletsa maulendo apandege ochokera kumwera kwa Africa.

Popeza kukwera kwachangu kwa COVID-19 ku South Africa, kuletsa kuyenda kuchokera kuderali ndi "kwanzeru" ndipo kungagulire aboma nthawi yochulukirapo, atero a Neil Ferguson, katswiri wa matenda opatsirana ku Imperial College London.

Koma WHO idawona kuti zoletsa zotere nthawi zambiri zimakhala zochepa ndipo idalimbikitsa mayiko kuti asunge malire.

Jeffrey Barrett, mkulu wa COVID-19 Genetics ku Wellcome Sanger Institute, adaganiza kuti kuzindikira koyambirira kwa mtundu watsopanowu kungatanthauze kuti zoletsa zomwe zatengedwa tsopano zitha kukhala ndi chiyambukiro chachikulu kuposa pomwe mtundu wa delta udayamba.

"Ndi delta, zidatenga milungu ingapo kuti ifike ku funde loyipa kwambiri ku India zisanadziwike zomwe zikuchitika ndipo delta inali itayamba kale kufalikira m'malo ambiri padziko lapansi ndipo inali yochedwa kuchita chilichonse," adatero."Titha kukhala kale ndi mtundu watsopanowu kotero pangakhale nthawi yoti tichitepo kanthu."

Boma la South Africa lati dzikolo likuchitiridwa zinthu mopanda chilungamo chifukwa lili ndi njira zotsatsira ma genomic ndipo limatha kuzindikira kusiyanako mwachangu ndipo lidapempha maiko ena kuti alingalirenso zoletsa kuyenda.
