Here's the latest variant picture for New Zealand.

EG.5.* "Eris" (53%) was still dominant, as of late October, but was beginning to wane.

XBB.1.9.* "Hyperion" began rising during October.

BA.2.86.* "Pirola" (2%) was not significant.

Here's the latest variant picture for New Zealand.

XBB.1.5.* "Kraken" (28%) has rebounded to overtake CH.1.1.* "Orthrus" (25%). XBB.1.16.* "Arcturus" (16%) and XBB.1.9.* "Hyperion" (19%) are still significant.

The new EG.5.* variant (5%) is present and growing, but is not significant yet.

The vigorous mix of variants implies increased immediate reinfection risks for those relying on immunity from a prior infection. Every variant is a minority of the recent samples.

The sample volumes seem representative up to July 10.

Here's the latest variant picture for Western Australia.

"Deltacron" XBC.* (31%) and XBB.1.16.* "Arcturus" (31%) are the leading variants in a messy soup.

Among the individual lineages, there was recent growth in XBB.1.9.1 (12%) - a "Hyperion" sub-lineage.

The XBC.1.3 sub-lineage (14%) is the most common from that variant, vs XBC.1.6.* in South Australia.

The mix of very different variants poses a raised immediate re-infection risk for anyone relying on natural immunity from a recent infection.

The sample volumes seem representative up to July 6.

Here's the latest variant picture for New Zealand.

CH.1.1.* "Orthrus" (36%) rebounded to a leading position, in a close contest with XBB.1.16.* "Arcturus" (29%) and XBB.1.9.* "Hyperion" (29%).

The vigorous mix of variants implies increased immediate reinfection risks for those relying on immunity from a prior infection. Every variant is a minority of the recent samples.

The sample volumes seem representative up to June 22. Unfortunately, the update cycle for NZ seems to have fallen back to once a month. Any successful new variant will likely already be widespread by the time it appears in this data. More timely summarised frequencies are shared weekly (not via GISAID), but for a very limited set of variants.

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.

Here's the latest variant picture for Queensland, Australia.

It's difficult to interpret as sample volumes are very low and patchy. There's a lengthy gap where <10 samples were shared, between May 13 and May 24.

XBB.1.9.* "Hyperion" (24%) may have returned to dominance. It looks like the many sub-lineages including EG.* and FL.* are making a contribution

Here's the latest variant picture for New South Wales, Australia.

XBB.1.16.* "Arcturus" (32%) is taking it's turn to dominate, following XBB.1.9.* "Hyperion" (25%).

XBB.1.5.* "Kraken" (14%) has been declining steadily.

Be alert for conjunctivitis symptoms, particularly associated with the Arcturus variant.
