XBB.1.5 Sublineage with S:∆180-184, S:N185D, S:F456L, ORF1a:T1437I (43 seq, Aug 19) #2192
Comments
Though most of the sequences are from Argentina, this one's begun to spread internationally a bit. Yesterday, five sequences from Houston, Texas, USA, were uploaded with collection dates from July 27 to August 4. And today a US travel sequence from Germany was uploaded, collection date August 4. Since Germany has basically stopped all sequencing, it's hard to know whether or not this lineage is spreading there. |
cc @corneliusroemer look at this please it is going vertical in Argentina. |
This is literally flying. 42 virus the last four from today from US (TX and Connecticut) yesterday a couple of GBW sample with travel history from Germany. |
Designated XBB.1.5.103 milestone added in the original issue to save Cornelius time. via 168e64b |
@aviczhl2 should i remove the milestone in the other issue or your code overwriite it? |
Yes thanks. |
Thank you. So @corneliusroemer i wont add anymore milestones on the other site if proposed here ? ok? |

Evidence
Deletions in four of the five NTD loops (located at spike AA sites 14-26, 67-81, 140-158, and 241-263) have been very common throughout the pandemic. These deletions have been associated with both antibody evasion and higher infectivity in cultured cells, though such advantages appear to come at a cost in spike stability. SARS-CoV-2's NTD loops are larger than those in other closely related viruses, including SARS-CoV-1.
NTD loop 4 (spike AA 172-190) has rarely seen deletions, and it's not entirely clear why. We've certainly seen a lot of substitutions there.
Since June 26, there have only been 34 sequences submitted from Argentina, and 10 of those have come from this lineage. It makes up 4 of the 13 sequences from Argentina with collection dates in July.
One of the five USA sequences is a travel sequence from Argentina. This likely isn't a very fast lineage as it was detected back in April, but it does seem to make up a substantial proportion of sequences in Argentina. 22 of the 26 sequences also possess T21357C (synonymous) and T27878G (ORF7b:C41W).
See the three excellent studies below for more on NTD deletions.
