XBB.2.3/XBB.1.16 Recombinant (51 seq, Sept 21) #2260
Comments
Original issue : sars-cov-2-variants/lineage-proposals#535 |
The XBB.2.3-side donor is from a subbranch used to have 15% prevalence in Bangladesh. sars-cov-2-variants/lineage-proposals#328 |
yes the one evaporated suddenly! |
The first European sequences came in yesterday and today: one from Germany and one from France. Both collected August 21. EPI_ISL_18229297, EPI_ISL_18234598 EPI_ISL_18222172 is a US sequence from a traveler from Argentina. |
First sequence from Canada, collected August 22: EPI_ISL_18256685 Only four sequences in the past week, however, so it seems slow. |
47 as today |
Designated XCW via f44449c |
@corneliusroemer you should add the milestone here casue Ryan proposed this one directly here without preproposal in the secondary report. |
Scratch that it's already in lineage notes . |

Evidence
XBB.2.3 has never picked up ORF9b:I5T, which has proven advantageous for XBB.1* lineages. It has also never picked up an ORF8 stop codon. It's not clear if there's a connection between those two things, but this recombinant lineage has picked up both, along with ORF9b:N55S. It seemed slow for a while, but in the past week its numbers have doubled from ~15 to ~30.
Just one sequence has been from India, but given the extremely low level of sequencing in that country of over 1.4 billion, it's possible this lineage is more common there than anywhere else.
