Coronavirus has mutated into at least 10 different variants and one of them is much more dangerous than all the others, it is claimed.
The successful mutation, named A2a by scientists, is reportedly much more successful at "propagating itself through the human population" than other variants.
Researchers at India’s National Institute of Biomedical Genomics (NIBMG) found that A2a is emerging as the dominant global coronavirus strain.
It's taking over from the other 10 types, including the original Chinese virus, which they call type O. Partha Majumder, a senior geneticist at the NIBMG who led the research, told Telegraph India: “It’s unusual to see one single type sweeping through the world — but that’s what it looks like for the moment.” H
