The new SARS-CoV-2 variant has evoked scenes reminiscent of the early days of covid-19 when much of the world banned travel to and from Wuhan, China. With large parts of south-east England locked down, Elisabeth Mahase looks at what we know so far

Covid-19: What new variants are emerging and how are they being investigated?
The new, more transmissible variant of SARS-CoV-2 found in England is just one of many variations of the virus being detected around the world. Elisabeth Mahase looks at what we know so far
The course of the UK COVID 19 pandemic; no measurable impact of new variants.
TLDR
The course of the SARS-COV-2 pandemic in the UK seems highly predicted by an earlier model based on the lockdown stringency, humidity and temperature and unaltered by the emergence of newer viral genotype.
SARS-CoV-2 variants: A double-edged sword?
TLDR
This review has highlighted major SARS-CoV-2 variants as well as other local strains along with their specific mutations, suspected changes in their characteristics, and their impact on the current pandemic and vaccine efficacy.
COVID-19 disease ( SARS-CoV-2 virus ) 15 July 2021 , VERSION 11 1
TLDR
This document is to summarize and interpret key information based on a comprehensive review of the literature, to help overloaded health professionals keep up to date on the subject of COVID-19.
Modeling the impact of SARS-CoV-2 variants and vaccines on the spread of COVID-19
COVID-19 disease ( SARS-CoV-2 virus ) 31 MAY 2021 , VERSION 10 1
TLDR
This document is to summarize and interpret key information based on a comprehensive review of the literature, to help overloaded health professionals keep up to date on the subject of COVID-19.
Emergence of novel SARS-CoV-2 variants in the Netherlands
TLDR
Their analyses suggest the authors have diverged away from the current SARS-CoV-2 reference enough that the reference should be re-evaluated to represent the current viral population more accurately, and sequence-based analyses should opt for a consensus representation to adequately cover the genomic variation observed.
Mapping the footprints of COVID-19 pandemic
TLDR
It is important to understand the transforming epidemiology of the virus as it helps in planning necessary steps for physicians and policymakers in curbing the pandemic as effect of vaccine on new strains is undetermined.
Which Plagues are Coming Next?
TLDR
This chapter focuses on pathogens ranging from yeast to virus, capable of transmission through food, water, air, or animal, that could emerge as the next International Health Security threat.
The COVID-19 variants: an overview
The outbreak of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) was initially noticed in a seafood market in Wuhan city in Hubei Province of China in mid-December 2019 which has now spread to 223…
