Since March, LP.8.1 has been dominant. FDA designates same as vaccine target, on very week its share has plateaued.

Data collection continues to be low priority nationally—as exactly zero regions have enough data for CDC to plot.

No new variants broken out by #CDC, although the "razor blade throat" variant, NB.1.8.1, remains significant in GISAID.

Raj's dashboard was last updated yesterday.

Five bar-style tree-charts, for fortnights through 5/11–5/24. Legend of last fortnight, organized by subheadings of color-grouped families and convergent clusters. Percentages overlay each color key, reflecting share as of most recent tree-chart.

For 4/27–5/10, packed bubble charts fill single-variant tiles, reflecting GISAID detail not shown by CDC's Nowcast.

Emergence of #Antigenic #Variants in #Bovine #H5N1 #Influenza Viruses, https://etidiohnew.blogspot.com/2025/05/emergence-of-antigenic-variants-in.html

Updated #CDC estimates show we'd pretty much been in a JN.1.11 soup since Dec, until late March, when LP.8.1 took majority.

Data collection continues to be low priority nationally—as exactly zero regions have enough data for CDC to plot.

CDC breaks out recombinant XFC from FLiRT parent LF.7 . (Our dataviz now identifies parentage for each recombinant.) Raj's dashboard was last updated today.

Data collection continues to be a low priority nationally, as exactly zero regions have enough data for CDC to plot.

Two children of LF.7.7, dot1 and dot2, broken out by CDC, together with PA.1, a grandchild of MC.10.

Reskin of CDC's Variants Nowcast, and any significant variants in GISAID not broken out by CDC.

Five bar-style tree-charts, for fortnights through April 13–26. Legend of last fortnight, organized by subheadings of color-grouped families and convergent clusters. Percentages overlay each color key, reflecting share as of most recent tree-chart.

Essentially all WHO-Vaccine-Target JN.1. LP.8.1 accounts for over two thirds; JN.1 + FLiRT for near a quarter.

For fortnight of 3/30–4/12, packed bubble charts fill single-variant tiles, indicating diversification of those variants (per GISAID) that wouldn't otherwise be apparent from CDC's Nowcast.

† Dagger variants are not broken out by CDC, yet represent a significant share of recent GISAID sequences.

Updated #CDC estimates show we've pretty much been in a JN.1.11 soup since Dec, until late March, when LP.8.1 took majority.

Data collection continues to be a low priority nationally, as only one region (NY/NJ) has enough data for CDC to plot.

Large-scale computational #modelling of #H5 #influenza #variants against #HA1-neutralising #antibodies, https://etidiohnew.blogspot.com/2025/03/large-scale-computational-modelling-of.html

Second time #CDC has reported estimates for more than two regions at a time since October.

To be clear, national data used for chart above are modeled on regional data collection.

LP.8.1 now estimated at majority in Great Lakes, nearing majority in NY/NJ and Mid-Atlantic.

XEC (incl. XEC.4) still around a quarter share in all three regions.

Map: Nowcast Estimates for 3/2/2025 - 3/15/2025 by HHS Region
Source: Centers for Disease Control

Map shows pie charts for three of ten regions, reflecting regional estimated proportions for specimens collected for the most recent biweekly reporting period.

Bold text over Canada portion of map reads: "Nowcast estimates are only available for HHS regions having at least 300 sequences in the two weeks ending 02/15/2025".

Dominant strains by tracked region:

NY/NJ: LP.8.1 (orange) 47%, XEC (clover) 22%, LF.7 (dirty blue) 5%, LB.1.3.1 (fountain blue) 5%.

Mid-Atlantic: LP.8.1 (orange) 42%, XEC (clover) 25%, MC.28.1 (flat blue) 8%, KP.3.1.1 (sea bluish cyan) 5%.

Great Lakes: LP.8.1 (orange) 60%, XEC (clover) 24%, KP.3.1.1 (sea bluish cyan) 4%.

Of ten regions, seven regions are blank.

A FLuQE wavelet opened September, cresting as KP.3.1.1 / MC wave into November. FDA's second-guess vaccine target, KP.2, dropped out in December. Updated #CDC estimates indicate we've been in a JN.1.11 soup pretty much since then.

No new variants broken out by CDC, as KP.1.1.3 / LP descendant LP.8.1 approaches majority.

No recent GISAID data—as Raj's dashboard hasn't updated in near a month.
