Hodcroft, a virologist at the University of Bern, speculated from the genetic map that the Omi Keron variant can be traced back to mid-2020.
Researchers believe that there are three possibilities for the origin of the Omi Keron variant, which originates from people whose virus is not well monitored and has not been sequenced; originates from people with weakened immune systems that cannot be completely cured; and originates from "reverse zoonotic diseases." Transmission means that the virus spreads from humans to animals, and then back to humans after being mutated.
Caruso, president of the Italian Association of Virology, said that if the new variant proves to be more infectious but less aggressive, then Omi Keron may be the variant we are waiting to appear.
For viruses, the best way is to spread faster through evolution, but not to cause fatal damage to the host.
In this way they can continue to reproduce.
The more mild or even asymptomatic the virus host is, the more it is conducive for the milder variant virus to defeat other variants in a faster and more contagious manner.
Experts from the Italian Ministry of Health said at a news conference on the new crown pneumonia epidemic that, except for the 9 confirmed cases, Omi Keron virus has not yet spread in Italy.
