Here's the latest variant picture for New Zealand, to late January.

In a chaotic scene, NB.1.8.1 "Nimbus", JN.1.* +DeFLuQE (led by PE.1.4) and XFG.* "Stratus" are all significant. This scenario raises the risk of rapid reinfections, for those relying on disease-acquired immunity.

BA.3.2.* "Cicada" is also present, but at only 11%.

Here's the latest variant picture for Europe (excluding the UK), to late November.

BA.3.2.* "Cicada" is showing a very strong growth advantage of 7.9% per day (55% per week) over XFG.* "Stratus", which predicts a crossover in late December.

To include the latest BA.3.2.* samples, I have rolled my reporting window forward an extra week or so. So the most recent data is even less representative than usual. The picture for those dates might change as more data is shared.

XFG.* "Stratus" continued to dominate, but fell to 67%.

NB.1.8.1 "Nimbus" rose slightly to 18%.

XFV.* grew to 10% nationally, however all the recent samples are from Ontario and recent volumes are very low, so that could just be a cluster from a healthcare or aged care setting.
