Attenuated fusogenicity and pathogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant

2022-01-06

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>The emergence of a new severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variant, Omicron, is the most urgent concern in the global health in December 2021. Our statistical modelling estimates that Omicron is >3.0-fold and >5.6-fold more transmissible than Delta in South Africa and the UK, respectively. Intriguingly, cell culture experiments show that Omicron is less fusogeni...
