Learn and discuss the various kinds of Covid variations at the 12th International Nursing, Healthcare, and Patient Safety Conference.
As modifications to the genetic code (either from genetic mutations or viral recombination) take place during genome replication, viruses like SARS-CoV-2 continue to evolve. A lineage is a collection of genetically distinct viral strains that have a common ancestor. A variety of the SARS-CoV-2 viruses has one or more mutations that set it apart from other variants. Recombinant means combining genetic material from two separate variants to form a new variant. Multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants have been identified throughout this pandemic in the United States and throughout the world, as was to be expected. Scientists evaluate the genetic differences between viruses to find variants (including recombinants) and how they are related to one another in order to inform local outbreak investigations and comprehend national trends. Inspirational speakers and insider knowledge are presented at a gathering where the most recent studies and trends are debated. Register to talk at the CME/CPD a
