Guadalajara, Mexico, Feb 4 (efe-epa).- Mexican authorities and scientists are investigating a possible new coronavirus strain that is believed to have originated in the western state of Jalisco.
Researchers at the University of Guadalajara’s Laboratory for Diagnosis in Emerging and Reemerging Diseases (LaDEER) announced this week the discovery of a SARS-CoV-2 mutation in the samples of four infected people from that state.
The head of the laboratory, Natali Vega, said in a press conference that these mutations could indicate that a new Mexican strain of the coronavirus exists or that the virus underwent changes during the infection-acquired immunity process.
