    CW: SARS-CoV-2 variants for China

    Here's the latest variant picture for China.

    XBB.1.9.* "Hyperion" (39%) was driving the 2nd wave of recombinant lineages, with perhaps some slow growth for XBB.1.16.* "Arcturus" (24%).

    There was a fairly dramatic surge in XBB.1.22.* "Bellatrix" (60%) in early June. Note that the samples from June 6 onwards are almost all from Hubei province (Wuhan region).

    This looks like a clear signal of a fresh wave of reinfections. I couldn't find any current info on the situation in Hubei.

    The sample volumes seem representative up to June 1, perhaps a week later for Hubei province.

    CW: SARS-CoV-2 variants for Kenya

    Here's the latest variant picture for Kenya.

    XBB.1.22.* "Bellatrix" (48%) clan has been dominant recently, led by the FY.4 sub-lineage.

    There was a rise in XBB.2.3.* "Acrux" (41%) clan in late May, led by the GE.1 sub-lineage.

    The sample volumes are a bit sparse and patchy.

    CW: SARS-CoV-2 variant XBB.1.22.* "Bellatrix"

    Here's the latest variant picture for the recently-nicknamed XBB.1.22.* "Bellatrix" variant.

    First, an animated map showing the spread of the XBB.1.22.* "Bellatrix" variant around the world. The earliest sample was found in late November in New South Wales, Australia. After a lull, from late December onwards it was detected in China and then around the globe.

    Locations are approximate - typically country and state/province.

    Here's a link to download the video file - feel free to share anywhere:

    CW: SARS-CoV-2 variants for China

    Here's the latest variant picture for China.

    XBB.1.9.* "Hyperion" (45%) is still dominant dominant.

    XBB.1.16.* "Arcturus" (25%) looks like challenging next.

    New clans XBB.1.22.* "Bellatrix" (9%) and XBB.2.3.* "Acrux" (8%) are beginning to rise.

    The vigorous mix of very different variants raises the re-infection risk for anyone relying on natural immunity from a recent infection.

    The sample volumes seem representative up to May 10.
