- Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, iingcali zichonge ngaphezulu kwe-60 utshintsho olunokwenzeka kulwakhiwo lwemfuza lwe-Delta strain.
- Kwezi, ezingama-22 ziyaziwa njengezinoxanduva lokuvela kwezinto ezingafaniyo ezintsha.
- Ukwahluka kwe-Delta kujikeleze i-60 yepesenti ngakumbi kunentsholongwane yentsusa ye-SARS-CoV-2 kwaye inokubaleka ukhuseleko kusulelo lwangaphambili malunga nesiqingatha sexesha.
Umphathi weSibhedlele iRamathibodi iZiko lezeMpilo kwiJenomics, uNjingalwazi uGqirha Wasun Chatratita, uthe ezi zinto zahlukileyo zafunyanwa kwizampulu ezifunyenwe kwizibhedlele ezininzi zaseThailand.
Uthe okwahlukileyo AY.4 (B.1.617.2.4) kwafunyanwa kwi-3% yeesampulu ezathunyelwa zivela kuPathum Thani, ngelixa i-AY.6 (B.1.617.2.6) yafunyanwa kwi-1% yeesampulu kuzo zonke iindawo ilizwe. Okwangoku, iiyantlukwano AY.10 (B.1.617.2.10) kunye ne-AY.12 AY.12 (B.1.617.2.15) zifunyenwe kwi-1% yeesampulu ezithunyelwe zivela eBangkok.
Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, iingcali zichonge ngaphezulu kwe-60 utshintsho olunokwenzeka kulwakhiwo lwemfuza lwe-Delta strain. Kwezi, ezingama-22 ziyaziwa njengezinoxanduva lokuvela kwezinto ezingafaniyo ezintsha. Izinto zokuqala ezahlukileyo zeDelta, eziqinisekisiweyo, i-AY.1 kunye ne-AY.2, zafunyanwa okokuqala eNepal.
Abaphandi e-Columbia University Mailman School yezeMpilo yoLuntu basebenzise imodeli yeekhompyuter ukuqikelela ukuba Ukwahluka kweDelta kujikeleze iipesenti ezingama-60 ngaphezulu kunentsholongwane yoqobo ye-SARS-CoV-2 kwaye unokubaleka ukhuseleko kusulelo lwangaphambili malunga nesiqingatha sexesha. Xa kuthelekiswa ne-Delta, i-Beta kunye ne-Gamma azisasazeki kodwa ziyakwazi ukuphepha kwi-immune. Xa kuthelekiswa nentsholongwane yoqobo, Iota iyabulala kubantu abadala.
Ugqirha Wan Yang, PhD, unjingalwazi oncedisayo kwizifo kunye nombhali ophambili wezi zifundo uthe: ugonyo ukuba khange ukwenze oko.
“Kubalulekile ukuba sikubeke esweni ngokusondeleyo ukusasazeka kwezi zinto zahlukileyo ukuze sikhokele amanyathelo okhuseleko aqhubekayo, amaphulo okugonya, kunye nokuvavanywa kokusebenza kwesitofu sokugonya.
Ngokusisiseko, ukunciphisa umda ukuvela kwezinto ezintsha kunye nesiphelo ubhubhane we-COVID-19, sidinga iinzame zehlabathi ukugonya bonke abantu kwihlabathi liphela, kwaye siqhubeke nokusebenzisa amanye amanyathelo ezempilo eluntwini de indawo eyaneleyo yabemi ikhuselwe ngokugonya. ”
INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- Researchers at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health used a computer model to estimate that the Delta variants are around 60 percent more contagious than the original SARS-CoV-2 virus and can escape immunity from prior infection roughly half of the time.
- “More fundamentally, to limit the emergence of new variants and end the COVID-19 pandemic, we need global efforts to vaccinate all populations worldwide, and continue using other public health measures until a sufficient portion of the population is protected by vaccination.
- “Kubalulekile ukuba sikubeke esweni ngokusondeleyo ukusasazeka kwezi zinto zahlukileyo ukuze sikhokele amanyathelo okhuseleko aqhubekayo, amaphulo okugonya, kunye nokuvavanywa kokusebenza kwesitofu sokugonya.
