Lahaja iliyobadilishwa sana ya aina ya Omicron, inayoitwa BA.2.86, imezua wasiwasi kote ulimwenguni kadiri kesi zinavyoongezeka nchini Marekani, Uingereza, Uchina na sehemu kadhaa za Ulaya. Wataalamu sasa wanaamini lahaja hiyo mpya, inayoitwa pia Pirola, haiwezi kuambukiza na inaepuka kinga kuliko inavyohofiwa.<\/p>\n

Katika majaribio mawili tofauti ya maabara yaliyofanywa Marekani, wanasayansi walijaribu jinsi kingamwili kutoka kwa watu waliochanjwa na walioambukizwa zinavyoweza kutetea vibadala vya sasa vya COVID-19, ikijumuisha lahaja ya BA.2.86.<\/p>\n

Waligundua mifumo ya kinga ya wale walioambukizwa hivi karibuni na subvariant ya XBB ilitoa kiwango cha juu zaidi cha ulinzi dhidi ya aina mbalimbali zinazozunguka, ikiwa ni pamoja na BA.2.86. Matokeo ya mtihani pia yalionyesha kuwa chanjo iliyosasishwa ya COVID-19 inayolenga lahaja ya XBB.1.5 inaweza kutoa ulinzi wa ziada dhidi ya Pirola.<\/p>\n

"Maabara mbili zinazojitegemea kimsingi zimeonyesha kuwa BA.2.86 kimsingi sio kinga zaidi ikilinganishwa na anuwai za sasa," Dk. Dan Barouch, mkurugenzi wa Kituo cha Utafiti wa Virolojia na Chanjo katika Kituo cha Matibabu cha Beth Israel Deaconess na kiongozi wa mojawapo ya maabara ambazo zilijaribu lahaja, aliiambia<\/a> CNN.<\/p>\n

"Sasa tuna data ya maabara ya 2 ya kuripoti kutobadilika kwa BA.2.86 Na habari ni bora kuliko nilivyokuwa nikitarajia Na inanitia moyo zaidi kwamba chanjo mpya ijayo itakuwa na manufaa ya kweli dhidi ya lahaja kuu ya sasa (EG.5) pia. kama BA.2.86,\u201d Dk. Ashish Jha, aliyekuwa mratibu wa kukabiliana na COVID-19 katika Ikulu ya Marekani, alitweet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pirola ina zaidi ya mabadiliko 30 kwa protini yake ya mwiba ikilinganishwa na XBB.1.5, ambayo hapo awali ilikuwa toleo kuu nchini Marekani Idadi kubwa ya mabadiliko katika Pirola imezua wasiwasi miongoni mwa wataalamu.<\/p>\n

"Tulipotoka [lahaja ya Omicron] XBB.1.5 hadi [Eris] EG.5, hiyo labda ilikuwa mabadiliko moja au mbili. Lakini mabadiliko haya makubwa, ambayo pia tuliona kutoka Delta hadi Omicron, yanatia wasiwasi, "Scott Roberts, mtaalamu wa magonjwa ya kuambukiza ya Yale Medicine, sema<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Walakini, kulingana na ripoti, zinazohusiana na COVID vifo<\/a> zimepungua kwa kuenea kwa Pirola na lahaja ni takriban 60% isiyoambukiza kuliko virusi vya XBB.1.5.<\/p>\n

Lahaja ya BA.2.86 imeenea kwa angalau nchi 11 baada ya kutambuliwa kwa mara ya kwanza nchini Denmark mnamo Julai 24. WHO na Vituo vya Kudhibiti na Kuzuia Magonjwa (CDC) wameongeza lahaja kwenye orodha yao ya kutazama.<\/p>\n

"Tathmini ya sasa ya CDC ni kwamba chanjo hii iliyosasishwa itakuwa na ufanisi katika kupunguza ugonjwa mbaya na kulazwa hospitalini. Kwa wakati huu, hakuna ushahidi kwamba lahaja hii inasababisha ugonjwa mbaya zaidi. Tathmini hiyo inaweza kubadilika kadri data za ziada za kisayansi zinavyotengenezwa,\u201d wakala huo sema<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kesi hizo zilipoongezeka, Dk. Anthony Fauci, mshauri mkuu wa zamani wa matibabu wa Ikulu ya White House, alijibu uchunguzi ambao ulidai kuwa barakoa haziwezi kusaidia dhidi ya maambukizi.<\/p>\n

"Nina wasiwasi kwamba watu hawatatii [kuweka] mapendekezo. Hatuzungumzii juu ya mamlaka au kulazimisha mtu yeyote, lakini unapokuwa na hali ambapo idadi ya kesi katika jamii inafikia kiwango cha juu, watu walio katika mazingira magumu, wazee, na wale walio na hali ya chini, wataathiriwa zaidi, ikiwa wataambukizwa, kupata ugonjwa mbaya na kusababisha kulazwa hospitalini.

Experts now believe the new variant, also dubbed Pirola, is less contagious and immune evasive than feared.In two separate lab experiments conducted in the U.S., scientists tested how the antibodies from vaccinated and infected people might be able to defend the current variants of COVID-19, including the BA.2.86 variant.They found the immune systems of those recently infected with the XBB subvariant gave the highest level of protection against a range of circulating variants, including BA.2.86. The test results also indicated that the updated COVID-19 vaccine targeting the XBB.1.5 variant can give additional protection against Pirola."Two independent labs have basically shown that BA.2.86 essentially is not a further immune escape compared with current variants," Dr. Dan Barouch, director of the Center for Virology and Vaccine Research at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and leader of one of the labs that tested the variant, told CNN."We now have the 2nd lab reporting neutralization data on BA.2.86 And the news is better than I was expecting And makes me more encouraged that the new upcoming vaccine will have a real benefit against the current dominant variant (EG.5) as well as BA.2.86," Dr. Ashish Jha, former White House COVID-19 response coordinator, tweeted.Pirola has more than 30 mutations to its spike protein compared to XBB.1.5, which was previously a dominant variant in the U.S. The massive number of mutations in Pirola has raised concern among experts."When we went from [Omicron variant] XBB.1.5 to [Eris] EG.5, that was maybe one or two mutations. But these massive shifts, which we also saw from Delta to Omicron, are worrisome," Scott Roberts, Yale Medicine infectious diseases specialist, said.However, according to reports, COVID-related deaths have dropped with the spread of Pirola and the variant is about 60% less infectious than XBB.1.5 viruses.The BA.2.86 variant has spread to at least 11 countries after it was first identified in Denmark on July 24. The WHO and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have added the variant to their watchlist."CDC's current assessment is that this updated vaccine will be effective at reducing severe disease and hospitalization. At this point, there is no evidence that this variant is causing more severe illness. That assessment may change as additional scientific data are developed," the agency said.As the cases skyrocketed, Dr. Anthony Fauci, former White House chief medical adviser, responded to a study that claimed masks cannot help against the infection."I am concerned that people will not abide by [masking] recommendations. We're not talking about mandates or forcing anybody, but when you have a situation where the volume of cases in society gets to a reasonably high level, the vulnerable, the elderly, and those with underlying conditions, are going to be more susceptible, if they do get infected, of getting severe disease leading to hospitalization.
