Recent KP.3.1.1 + S:A397V 43 sequences , 7 countries

[FedeGueli]

KP.3.1.1 is actually the lineage growing faster globally with a global share around 10% in the very few last weeks
(6% outside Spain)
Now there is a recent small branch that got S:A397V , it is predicted to increase binding, lowering entry and improving slighty escape on a XBB.1.5 backbone by Bloom and Dadonaite

It was quite uncommon in the pandemic being sampled less than 400 times ( 1/4 of them in AY.4)
hence i propose it here

Defining mutations:
KP.3.1.1 > A7330T, S:A397V (C22752T)
Query: A7330T,C22752T
Samples: 4
Countries : Spain (2), Canada, Netherlands
IDs:EPI_ISL_19201724, EPI_ISL_19229209, EPI_ISL_19230347,
