P.D. Con todo mi respeto a Marc Hubert Victor van Regenmortel, pero mientras los fascistas censores de @TwitterEspana cuenten las URL's para el límite de 280 caracteres, seguiré diciendo "cepa" en vez de "variante" cuando hable del desastre que se avecina:
@Janewright1Jw - Hi Jane , You expressed a like for a tweet which I subsequently deleted. I think the attached article is a bit more rigorous. I see no reason why this principal should not apply to SARS-COV-2. https://t.co/7r1nRtbHUL https://t.co/1XC4um
It was said in 2012 that "there is no universally accepted definition for the terms 'strain', 'variant'& 'isolate' in the virology community, & most virologists simply copy the usage of terms from others The lack of precise definition continued as
@aadigala @WHO https://t.co/ywcEF5G9rl I think it's the nomenclature to add country of Origin. But evades me as to why China wasn't added in the nomenclature anywhere. Even in the formal journalistic papers. https://t.co/5tJc2nxH7f

Any virologists want to help me with a semantics question? I'm trying to make sense of where the line is between a viral variant and a new strain. From reading, it seems like the definition might be when it has a diff phenotype, not just diff genotype. htt

Thank you
@peterachilles Simply put a variant is slightly different from the original virus. A strain is significantly different from the original virus. https://t.co/uJyLDLRi9B

@JanuarysJargon @CllrBSilvester I don't think this is what "isolate" means in this context. A viral isolate is a consensus sequence of the population of genomes present in the analyzed sample. https://t.co/6ZbRaefF8e
