"UKHSA continues to analyse all available data relating to SARS-CoV-2 variants in the UK and abroad and is monitoring the situation closely. In the UK - as of 17 April 2023 - there were 135 XBB.1.16 sequences in the UK, with 120 in England, eight in Wales, five in Scotland, and two in Northern Ireland.ĭr Meera Chand, deputy director at the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), said: "It is not unexpected to see new variants of SARS-CoV-2 emerge. "So it does look like it will become the dominant variant at some point, but whether it will generate a further wave in infections and, if so, how big that wave will be, is not yet clear," he said. It is increasing a bit faster in the US and already is at about 10% of reported infections. He continues: "It is increasing in the UK but not as rapidly as previous new variants did and is now responsible for about 2% of infections. Professor Paul Hunter, an expert in researching transmission of emerging infectious diseases, tells Sky News XBB.1.16 "certainly has taken over in India but is not being as aggressive in the UK or the US". It has been in circulation for a few months." It's actually very similar in profile to XBB.1.5. Nepal's economy contracted for the first time in four decades in the last fiscal year due to a months-long lockdown to contain the COVID-19 pandemic.Addressing the new variant's emergence at a press conference on 29 March, Dr Van Kerkhove said: "This is the XBB.1.16.

"The situation is really frightening," said Prakash Thapa, a doctor at Bheri hospital in Nepalgunj, a city in the southwest plains bordering India.

![]() ![]() There is continued debate over both the merits of individual hypotheses and the likelihood of stripes having arisen via a single driver vs. ![]() The hypotheses suggest various ways in which stripes may provide a social function (species or individual recognition or social cohesion 1, 4), a temperature-regulation benefit 5, 6, an anti-predator effect 7, 8, or an anti-parasite effect 9, 10. Scientists have proposed and investigated several possible explanations for the evolution of zebra stripes (reviewed in 3). So, striping presents an ideal evolutionary puzzle: a trait so refined it seems it must be “for” something, but one that confers no clear advantage upon its bearers and imposes apparent costs (conspicuousness) that cannot be explained in Zahavian terms. Stripes are clearly not aposematic warning signals, nor do they provide camouflage in either the woodland or savannah habitats common across zebra ranges 1, 2. Unlike many conspicuous visual traits, striped pelage is expressed with comparable intensity in both sexes and is thus unlikely to have arisen through sexual selection alone (although in plains zebras, Equus quagga, males have stripes closer to true black than females). However, the utility of a complete coat of densely packed, starkly contrasting black-and-white stripes is not immediately apparent. The trait is rare, conspicuous, and intensely expressed, and thus appears to beg an adaptationist explanation. The evolutionary origins of zebra stripes have been investigated-and debated-for centuries. Our findings confirm that zebra stripes repel biting flies under naturalistic conditions and do so at close range (suggesting that several of the mechanisms hypothesized to operate at a distance are unnecessary for the fly-repulsion effect) but indicate that interspecific variation in stripe width is associated with selection pressures other than biting flies. In paired-choice field experiments in a Kenyan savannah, we found that hungry Stomoxys flies released in an enclosure strongly preferred to land on uniform tan impala pelts over striped zebra pelts but exhibited no preference between the pelts of the zebra species with the widest stripes and the narrowest stripes. ![]() ![]() In addition, the complex visual features of real zebra pelage and the natural range of stripe widths have been largely left out of experimental designs. Myriad hypotheses have been suggested, but few experiments have helped narrow the field of possible explanations. While this effect is well-established, the mechanism behind it remains elusive.
