ABSTRACT:
XE variant transmissibility: Several reports have surfaced describing the introduction of a new Covid mutant known as Covid 19 Variant XE or recombinant variety. According to preliminary findings, it may be more transmissible than BA.2. However, the Tata Institute for Genetics and Society has attempted to assuage anxieties about the new variety, stating that there is no reason to be alarmed but rather do thorough research. XE, a sub-variant of Omicron, which caused the third wave of Covid-19 this winter, had not been found in India until now. The announcement about its discovery sparked concern about the possibility of a fresh wave of infections in India, where Covid-19 cases are in continuous decline, and are now at their lowest level in more than two years. Almost immediately, however, Union Health Ministry sources in New Delhi clarified that the identification of the XE variant in that particular patient was yet to be confirmed. In fact, a preliminary analysis had suggested that the virus detected in the patient was not the XE variant. A confirmation one way or the other was expected in a day or two. As of now, there is no evidence to show that the XE variant is significantly different from the other varieties of Omicron. What has been noticed is that XE could be about 10 per cent more transmissible than the dominant BA.2 variant. But that is a very small advantage that XE has, and even this has not been confirmed as of now. The fact that there has been no significant increase in the incidence of the XE variant since its detection three months ago shows that it might not be a big worry at present.
