Asst. Prof. Dr. Chalermchai Boonyaleephan reveals that GISAID has been checked. There is no new strain of deltacron virus, but it is the same type of delta virus. It is thought to be a contamination at some stage of the genetic material analysis.

On January 20, 2022, it was reported that Asst. Prof. Dr. Chalermchai Boonyaleephan, Vice-President of the Senate Public Health Commission, posted a message via private blockdit “Hundred and eight thousand nine with Dr. Chalermchai” that it is clear that Deltacron virus does not exist. End the new viral drama from Cyprus.

from the case of biologists from the University of Cyprus has released news around the world through some foreign news agencies that Found the latest strain of covid virus It was also named deltacron because it was believed to be a cross between a delta virus and an omikron virus.

Later, some Thai media also presented the news. causing an issue of excitement all around that A new virus has emerged.

It is now clear that GISAID, the global central agency. with two years of academic work to examine the genetic code of the coronavirus There will be agencies of different countries. Submit the virus’s genetic code to GISAID for review and classification. before further certifying

It is now concluded that GISAID has decrypted the genes of 24 samples of the Cyprus virus that have been submitted for investigation. out of the database It was found that almost all of the virus samples belonged to the Delta strain, and only two of the 30,000 sites belonged to the Omikron, A67V and 69-70 Del. The same was found in all 24 samples, with the genetic code of the delta in each sample being different. not quite the same

the author sees The international organization’s audit, GISAID, is valid. is that there is no new strain of virus But it’s the original Delta virus itself. It is not a new strain of the Deltacron virus and it is clear that it may have been contaminated at some point in the genetic analysis.

by experts from the World Health Organization and British virologist has come out to comment It’s probably a technical glitch. Contamination occurs in some steps, such as genetic decryption fluid, etc.
