This includes the descendent Pango lineage B.1.621.1. This variant is known as 21H in Nextstrain nomenclature,\u201d the report reads.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Mu variant has a constellation of mutations that indicate potential properties of immune escape. Preliminary data presented to the Virus Evolution Working Group show a reduction in neutralisation capacity of convalescent and vaccinee sera similar to that seen for the Beta variant, but this needs to be confirmed by further studies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince its first identification in Colombia in January 2021, there have been a few sporadic reports of cases of the Mu variant and some larger outbreaks have been reported from other countries in South America and in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/08\/19\/nigerian-navy-arrests-four-stowaways-on-europe-bound-ship\/\">Europe<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs of 29 August, over 4500 sequences (3794 sequences of B.1.621 and 856 sequences of B.1.621.1) have been uploaded to GISAID from 39 countries. Although the global prevalence of the Mu variant among sequenced cases has declined and is currently below 0.1%, the prevalence in Colombia (39%) and Ecuador (13%) has consistently increased.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reported prevalence should be interpreted with due consideration of sequencing capacities and timeliness of sharing of sequences, both of which vary between countries. More studies are required to understand the phenotypic and clinical characteristics of this variant. The epidemiology of the Mu variant in South America, particularly with the co-circulation of the Delta variant, will be monitored for changes.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The World Health Organisation (WHO) has disclosed that it has identified a new variant of the coronavirus labelled as &#8216;Mu&#8217; which may be resistant to vaccines.
