New York. Despite the vaccine, the corona virus (Kovid-19) has not been able to wreak havoc. Because the constant changes in the corona pose a new challenge in combating this deadly virus. Now a new study has revealed the shocking thing. It claims that mutation in the spike protein of the corona makes this deadly virus infectious up to eight times higher in human cells. The SARS Cove-2 virus, which causes Kovid-19, enters human cells (cells) only through spike proteins.
According to the study published in the journal eLife, the results confirmed a mutation called D614G. This makes the virus more contagious. This is one of the mutations associated with all those new variants of Corona. New variants of Corona have been found in countries such as Britain, South Africa and Brazil. Neville Sanjana, assistant professor at New York University in the US, said, “It is being confirmed that mutations become more contagious due to mutations.” It may help to understand how the virus spread at such a rapid pace last year. ‘
Researchers say the D614G mutation in the spike protein of the corona probably emerged early in the year 2020, and this form of the corona has now become the most dominant worldwide. They found that the corona became eight times more infectious due to the D614G mutation than the original virus. The results of the study may prove beneficial in making the vaccine more effective in the future.
In a report by the news agency PTI recently, Indian scientists were told that far-reaching steps need to be taken in view of the new appearance of Corona and the changes taking place in it. The initial version of the vaccine may have come among us, but given the change in the appearance of the virus, the work of vaccine preparation will have to continue in future. According to the scientists of NII, the current vaccination campaign will definitely reduce the pace of infection, but new vaccines will have to be made in view of the changes in the virus.
