iindaba

Kungekudala, inani leemeko ze-coronavirus entsha ye-EG.5 iye yanda kwiindawo ezininzi emhlabeni jikelele, kwaye i-World Health Organization idwelise i-EG.5 njenge "inguqu efuna ingqalelo".

Umbutho wezeMpilo weHlabathi (i-WHO) ubhengeze ngoLwesibini (ixesha lasekhaya) ukuba uhlele uhlobo olutsha lwe-coronavirus EG.5 "njengenkxalabo."

Ngokweengxelo, uMbutho wezeMpilo weHlabathi uthe ngomhla we-9 ukuba ulandelela iintlobo ezininzi ezintsha ze-coronavirus, kubandakanya i-EG.5 entsha ye-coronavirus, ejikeleza eUnited States nase-United Kingdom.

UMaria van Khove, okhokelayo kubuchwephesha be-WHO kwi-COVID-19, uthe i-EG.5 inyukile ukugqithisela kodwa ibingekho qatha ngakumbi kunezinye ii-Omicron ezahlukeneyo.

Ngokwengxelo, ngokuvavanya umthamo wosulelo kunye noguquko loguquko lwentsholongwane, uguquko lwahlulwe lwaba ziindidi ezintathu: “phantsi kweliso” ukwahluka, “kufuneka uhoye” ukwahluka kwaye “kufuneka uhoye” ukwahluka.

Ngubani uMlawuli-Jikelele uTedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus uthe: "Umngcipheko uhlala unobungozi obunokukhokelela ekonyukeni ngequbuliso kwamatyala nokufa."

Yintoni i-EG.5?Isasazeka phi?

I-EG.5, "inzala" ye-coronavirus entsha ye-Omikrin subvariant XBB.1.9.2, yafunyanwa okokuqala ngoFebruwari 17 kulo nyaka.

Intsholongwane iphinda ingene kwiiseli zomntu kunye nezicubu ngendlela efanayo ne-XBB.1.5 kunye nezinye iintlobo ze-Omicron.Kumajelo eendaba ezentlalo, abasebenzisi babize igama elithi “Eris” ngokwealfabhethi yesiGrike, kodwa oku akuvunywanga ngokusemthethweni yi-WHO.

Ukusukela ekuqaleni kukaJulayi, i-EG.5 ibangele ukwanda kwenani losulelo lwe-COVID-19, kwaye uMbutho wezeMpilo weHlabathi uwudwelise njengemfuneko “yokubeka iliso” okwahluka ngoJulayi 19.

Ukususela ngo-Agasti 7, i-7,354 EG.5 i-gene sequences evela kumazwe angama-51 ifakwe kwi-Global Initiative yokwabelana ngeDatha ye-Influenza (GISAID), kuquka i-United States, i-South Korea, i-Japan, i-Canada, i-Australia, i-Singapore, i-United Kingdom, EFransi, ePortugal naseSpain.

Kuvavanyo lwayo lwamva nje, i-WHO ibhekiselele kwi-EG.5 kunye ne-subvariants yayo esondeleyo, kubandakanywa i-EG.5.1.Ngokutsho kweGunya loKhuseleko lwezeMpilo e-UK, i-EG.5.1 ngoku ibala malunga neemeko ezisixhenxe ezifunyenwe ngovavanyo lwesibhedlele.Amaziko oLawulo lweSifo kunye noThintelo aqikelela ukuba i-EG.5, ejikeleza e-United States ukususela ngo-Apreli kwaye ngoku inoxanduva malunga neepesenti ze-17 zosulelo olutsha, lugqithise ezinye ii-subvariants ze-Omicron ukuba zibe yinto eqhelekileyo.Izibhedlele zeCoronavirus zonyuka kulo lonke elase-United States, ngokulaliswa esibhedlele kunyuke ngeepesenti ezili-12.5 ukuya kwi-9,056 kwiveki ephelileyo, ngokutsho kwe-arhente yezempilo.

Isitofu sokugonya sisakhusela usulelo lwe-EG.5!

I-EG.5.1 ineenguqu ezimbini ezibalulekileyo ezongezelelweyo i-XBB.1.9.2 ayinayo, okuyi-F456L kunye ne-Q52H, ngelixa i-EG.5 inokuguqulwa kwe-F456L kuphela.Utshintsho oluncinci olongezelelweyo kwi-EG.5.1, ukuguqulwa kwe-Q52H kwiprotheni ye-spike, inika inzuzo ngaphezu kwe-EG.5 ngokubhekiselele ekudluliseni.

Iindaba ezimnandi zezokuba unyango olukhoyo kunye nezitofu zokugonya kusalindeleke ukuba zisebenze ngokuchasene noxinzelelo oluguqukayo, ngokutsho kwesithethi seCDC.

Us Amaziko oLawulo lweSifo kunye noThintelo uMandy Cohen uthe isitofu sokugonya esihlaziyiweyo ngoSeptemba siza kubonelela ngokhuseleko kwi-EG.5 kwaye ulwahlulo olutsha aluzange lubonise utshintsho olukhulu.

UGunyaziwe woKhuseleko lwezeMpilo e-UK uthi ugonyo luhlala lulolona khuselo lubalaseleyo ngokuchasene nokuqhambuka kwecoronavirus kwixesha elizayo, ke kusabalulekile ukuba abantu bafumane zonke izitofu zokugonya abafanele ukuzifumana ngokukhawuleza.
