Monitor new SARS-CoV-2 variant
A highly mutated SARS-CoV-2 variant descending from BA.2 has been reported in the United Kingdom, United States, Denmark, and Israel.*
The new variant, designated BA.2.86, carries 30 additional spike changes compared to the parental BA.2 lineage. Due to the overall reduced genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 it cannot be determined whether the variant is circulating undetected elsewhere.
World Health Organization has classified BA.2.86 as a variant under monitoring as of 17 August. Additionally, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) classified all XBB.1.5-like lineages with additional spike protein change F456L as variants of interest. This includes lineages EG.5, FL.1.5.1, XBB.1.16.6, and FE.1.
You can continue to monitor all new variants of interest with NeuMoDx 96 and 288, QIAstat-Dx Respiratory SARS-CoV-2 Panel and QIAstat-Dx SARS-CoV-2/Flu A/B/RSV.
