“By the end of August the Delta type mutation will have prevailed in our country”

More Contagious Mutation of British Coronavirus Strain Detected in Bulgaria

For the first time in Bulgaria, a UK variant of the coronavirus with a mutation similar to the Brazilian one was detected, the director of the National Center for Infectious and Parasitic Diseases Prof. Todor Kantardzhiev told BNT on May 20.

Therefore, both vaccinated and those who have survived Covid 19 may also become infected with this variant of the virus, even more quickly.

The Indian variant of coronavirus B.1.617 shows two significant genetic changes in the surface protein: E484Q and L452R. These codes indicate the exact location of the genome change.

They said they were very concerned and that their study was the first in the world to confirm co-infection with two strains of coronavirus.
The discovery was published on the medical site "medRxiv.org", and the study has yet to go through the review process and be published in a scientific journal, Reuters reports.

He also said that Serbia's decision to cut off air traffic with London would be good, from the point of view of protecting the population from the new strain of the coronavirus.

The results show that medics significantly underestimate the overall ability of the virus to mutate, finding that different variants have affected different parts of the world, leading to potential difficulties in finding complete treatment.

The latest most comprehensive research shows cancer signs can be identified many years before diagnosis.

Mutations that cause cancer in genes were examined in 10 years of research that was published on Feb. 5 in the journal Nature with the participation of 1,300 scientists.

Forty-seven million genetic changes in more than 2,500 tumors in 38 cancer types were analyzed.

Those born with Epidermolysis Bullosa are often called "Butterfly children" because their skin is as fragile as the wings of a butterfly. In Serbia, 35 people suffer from this serious disease.

AFP - Scientists said Monday they had succeeded for the first time in wiping out an entire population of malaria-carrying mosquitos in the lab using a gene editing tool to programme their extinction.

Every blue-eyed person on the planet is descended from a single European who lived around 6,000 to 10,000 years ago, and who first developed a specific mutation that accounts for the now widespread iris coloration.
