The Brazilian variant of the Corona virus is the most lethal

New Delhi. The P1 variant of the corona virus originating from Brazil is likely to be more contagious than other forms of SARS-COV-2. In addition, it may be able to avoid the immunity achieved by prior infection with the virus. This claim has been made in a new modeling study. The research, published in the journal Science, uses data from the city of Manaus, Brazil to find out the characteristics and properties of P.1. It also includes 184 samples of genetic sequencing data. Manaus is facing a second wave of outbreaks, with high numbers of deaths per day and instances of the health care system collapsing. Researchers at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark and colleagues from Brazil found that p.1 is different from previous forms of the corono virus. He said that it has acquired 17 mutations. This includes mutations in the spike proteins – K417T, E484K and N501Y. The spike protein helps corono virus infect human cells. University of Copenhagen researcher and co-author of the study, Samir Bhatt, said that our epidemiological model indicated that p.1 has the potential to be more contagious than previous variants of the corono virus and infection with other forms of the virus There is a possibility of being able to avoid the received resistivity. Researchers noted during the study that p.1 emerged in Manaus around November 2020. Since then this form of corona virus has spread to many other countries of the world including Brazil as well as India. The orgy of corona infection is not taking its name in the world and more than 14.96 crore people have been affected by the infection of the virus so far. At the same time, more than 31.51 lakh people have died. According to the latest data released by the Center for Science and Engineering (CSSE) of America’s John Hopkins University, the number of infected in 192 countries and regions of the world has increased to 149.69 million 35 thousand 392, while 31 lakh 35 thousand 531 people Has died In the US, the number of infected has exceeded 32 million, while 5,74,326 patients have died from this epidemic.
