From Omicron to Its BA.5 Subvariant: A New Twist in Coronavirus Contagiousness Evolution

Host:avatar
In 2022 new subvariants of Coronavirus appeared in South Africa, and spread rapidly to other parts of the world. The effects of selective evolution on increasing the already high contagiousness of CoV19 up to Omicron were previously discussed with high accuracy using concepts new to molecular biology (from mathematics and physics) that have been developed over the last few decades. Here we discuss the new subvariants, and find novel features successfully combining both improved flexibility and improved stability. 9 pages, 2 figures, 1 table
