COVID-19 mutation discovered in Puerto Vallarta is more contagious

The University of Guadalajara (UdeG) and the biotechnology innovation company Genes2Life, which work to detect covid-19 mutations in residents of Jalisco, found four cases of the mutation E484K virus on January 27, the first being found in Puerto Vallarta, which is 50% more contagious than the original strain.

The E484k mutation means that the virus is less detectable by the immune system, there is a delayed response to infection, and it is more contagious.

The academic collaboration between the University and the company that is also dedicated to molecular biology diagnosis began in January . . .
