Researchers have tracked how the COVID-19 virus mutates long term, revealing patterns that could help predict the emergence ...

The World Health Organization is monitoring a new mutation of the virus that’s already caused a surge in Asia.

The World Health Organization (WHO) is keeping an eye on a new COVID-19 variant called NB.1.8.1, or “Nimbus,” that has spread across Europe, the Americas and the Western Pacific.

If there’s one thing worse than a virus, you’ve got to imagine it’s a massive version of the same thing. So it may not sound ...

NB.1.8.1 has mutations that could increase the virus’s transmissibility and decrease the efficacy of certain neutralizing ...

It’s also important to note that the symptoms of the new strain won’t be much different to those that we’re already familiar ...

The new variant has made its way to the U.S. and could be skilled at evading some of our defenses, research suggests.

The Global Virus Network (GVN) is closely monitoring the emergence of a newly identified SARS-CoV-2 variant, NB.1.8.1, a sublineage of the Omicron family. This variant was first identified in January ...

Forgetting the COVID-19 pandemic is impossible. All the lessons we learned during those four months will stay with us for a lifetime. From a personal point of view, but also from a ...

Early signs suggest NB.1.8.1 may be more transmissible than earlier variants, likely due to mutations in the spike protein. But there’s no evidence it’s more severe.
