Assoc. Prof. Dr. Thira Woratanarat, Faculty of Medicine Chulalongkorn University posted on Facebook stating that the performance of BA.2.86
Last night, Peking University’s Cao YL released the results of a laboratory study.
1. BA.2.86 has a very different antigen from other Omicron strains.
2. BA.2.86 is more resistant to immunity than other strains. that are currently spreading both XBB.1.5, EG.5.1 and FL.x
3. BA.2.86 is resistant to all currently approved antibodies.
4. However, if comparing the transmission performance, BA.2.86 has such performance slightly less than XBB.1.5.
From the results of Cao YL’s study, there is academic evidence to support that this omicron substrain BA.2.86 is very different from the previous strain. By being able to dodge immunity greatly. Therefore, there is a chance that people who have previously been infected with other strains will be re-infected. Including people who have immunity from vaccines as well
However, with the ability to infect Since the infectivity is less than that of XBB.1.5, it is likely that BA.2.86 will not spread rapidly. which is not as fast as the Omicron BA.1
must not be careless Assessment of the detection rate of BA.2.86 compared to when Delta (21J) and Omicron BA.2 were reported, BA.2.86 has a faster detection rate (Figure 5: Credit: Fleishon S)
latest situation France has also reported cases of BA.2.86.
Estimated that the wave at the end of this year, EG.5.x, will lead the outbreak, while BA.2.86 will take several months to incubate. which tends to develop further mutations to increase the ability to spread infection However, due to its high immune evasion performance, it is likely to be a successor to EG.5.x.
Should live a conscious life, not careless, always protect yourself.
