British experts have sounded the alarm over a new Covid variant believed to
have emerged in Botswana that is the most mutated version of the virus yet.
Only 10 cases of the strain, which could eventually be named 'Nu', have been
detected so far.
But it has already been spotted in three countries, suggesting the variant
is more widespread.
It carries 32 mutations, many of which suggest it is highly transmissible
and vaccine-resistant, and has more alterations to its spike protein than
any other variant.
Professor Francois Balloux, a geneticist at University College London, said
it likely emerged in a lingering infection in an immunocompromised patient,
possibly someone with undiagnosed AIDS.
Changes to the spike make it difficult for current jabs to fight off,
because they train the immune system to recognise an older version of this
part of the virus.
