¿Por qué no han habido nuevas variantes desde Omicron?
COVID Variants Posts en Español
Tita Smyth Escobedo, PM-IT
Actualmente tenemos muchas “subvariantes” que son descendientes directos de Omicron, pero no califican para las nuevas letras griegas de la OMS porque no son lo suficientemente diferentes de las variantes anteriores de preocupación. Como cualquier árbol genealógico, todas las variantes del SARS-CoV-2 se remontan a un ancestro común: la cepa original de Wuhan. A partir …
What’s up with this new ‘Arcturus’ subvariant of SARS-CoV-2?
COVID Variants
Amanda Simanek, PhD MPH
Arcturus (XBB.1.16) is a subvariant of the omicron variant that the World Health Organization recently classified as a “variant of interest”. TL; DR: The Arcturus subvariant has been growing in dominance since it was first identified in January 2023. It was classified as a “variant of interest” as it seems to have a growth advantage, …
Why haven’t there been any new variants since Omicron?
COVID Variants
Jennifer Beam Dowd, PhD
We currently have lots of “sub-variants” that are direct offspring of Omicron, but they don’t qualify for new Greek letters from the WHO because they aren’t different enough from previous variants of concern. TL;DR: SARS-CoV-2 is still evolving, but it’s not making as large of genetic leaps as it once did. This has left us …
Which animals are getting COVID-19? What are the implications for humans?
COVID Variants Infection and Spread
Lauren Hale, PhD MA
A. TL; DR. Many (but not all) non-human species are also getting COVID-19, although most go undiagnosed. The implication for humans is that these animals may serve as a reservoir for variants of the virus. Over the course of the pandemic, the Nerdy Girls have occasionally provided updates on various non-human species that have been …

¿Qué tanto debería preocuparme por la nueva variante XBB.1.5?
COVID Variants Posts en Español
Sandra Albrecht, PhD MPH
XBB.1.5 tiene una ventaja de transmisión, pero esto no lo convierte en una “súper variante” capaz de cambiar el juego. Mantenga la calma, anímese (y aumente las precauciones) y continúe.

How concerned should I be about the new XBB.1.5 variant?
COVID Variants
Jennifer Beam Dowd, PhD
XBB.1.5 has a transmission advantage, but this doesn’t make it a game-changing “super variant.” Keep calm, get boosted (and ramp-up precautions), and carry-on. At this stage of the pandemic, new variants are *guaranteed* to come and go. Variants arise from random errors as viruses make copies of itself. Most of these errors will be neutral …
Does Evusheld protect against the new COVID-19 subvariants?
COVID Variants
Sarah Whitley Coles, MD
A: The new Omicron subvariants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus are likely to be resistant to the monoclonal antibodies in Evusheld. It is especially important that people get the bivalent COVID-19 booster vaccine to protect against infection. Evusheld is a combination of two monoclonal antibodies called tixagevimab and cilgavimab. It is used to PREVENT (not treat!) …
