The GISAID nomenclature There are many thousands of complete and high-coverage genomes available on the Global Initiative on Sharing Avian Influenza Data (GISAID). GISAID separates the clades of SARS-CoV-2 into S, O, L, V, G, GH, GR, GV, and GRY. The S and L clades were around at the beginning of the pandemic. S continued to be prevalent initially whilst L split into G and V. G further split into GR and GH, and then later GV. GR split into GRY after July 2020. The letters come from the mutations that caused them to branch. The G clade is equivalent to PANGO B.1 lineage, with GR representing PANGO B.1.1 lineage. The S clade is equivalent to PANGO A lineage (the original virus, sequence zero, used as the reference), and the V strand is PANGO B.2 lineage. L is another eaerly lineage. O stands for others that do not match the genetic criteria of the other clades. At the beginning of the pandemic, in January 2020, the L, S and O clades had the majority. These all decreased as the G clade and its descendants increased in proportion over the next year. As of March 2021, the L, S and O clades constitute almost nothing, with the new GRY clade taking up the biggest proportion of the G clades. The GRY clade represents the B.1.1.7 strain that originated in Britain and has since spread across the globe to over 90 countries.
GISAIDclade name
The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) is an organization that is responsible for establishing and maintaining a standardized system for the classification and nomenclature of viruses. The ICTV was established in 1966 and is made up of a group of virologists from around the world who work together to develop and refine the rules and guidelines for virus taxonomy. The organization is affiliated with the International Union of Microbiological Societies (IUMS) and is recognized as the official taxonomic authority for viruses by the World Health Organization (WHO). The ICTV's main role is to develop and maintain a hierarchical classification system for viruses that is based on their genetic and biological characteristics. This system includes several levels of classification, such as family, genus, and species, which are used to group viruses together based on their similarities and differences. The ICTV also establishes the rules and guidelines for the naming of viruses and their variants, which helps to ensure that viruses are identified and classified consistently across different research groups and organizations. Overall, the ICTV plays a critical role in advancing our understanding of viruses and their impact on human health and the environment, by providing a standardized framework for virus taxonomy and nomenclature that is recognized and used by scientists around the world.
ICTV name
Nextstrain nomenclature Alternatively, Nextstrain divides the SARS-CoV-2 strains into 19A, 19B, 20A, 20B, 20C, 20D, 20E, 20F, 20G, 20H, 20I, 20 J. Phylogenetic trees and geographical/ temporal maps can be viewed for these classifications here. Within these clades, 19B is the original reference strain. 20I/501Y.V1 refers to the B.1.1.7 variant that originated in Britain; 20H/501Y.V2 refers to the B.1.351 strain that originated in South Africa; and 20J/501Y.V3 refers to the P.1 strain that originated and spread from Brazil.

PANGOLIN nomenclature The Phylogenetic Assignment of Named Global Outbreak Lineages (PANGOLIN) software team proposed nomenclature for the SARS-CoV-2 clades in a Rambaut et al. (2020) article. This contains the main lineages of A, B, B.1, B.1.1, B.1.177 and B.1.1.7. These lineages divide up further. The generally used names of strains e.g. the B.1.1.7 (British originating) and B.1.351 (South African originating) strain derive from this. A is the original strain used as a reference sequence.
PANGO name
The SIG Variant classification scheme defines four classes of SARS-CoV-2 variants: Variant Being Monitored (VBM), Alpha (B.1.1.7 and Q lineages) Beta (B.1.351 and descendent lineages) Gamma (P.1 and descendent lineages) Delta (B.1.617.2 and AY lineages) Epsilon (B.1.427 and B.1.429) Eta (B.1.525) Iota (B.1.526) Kappa (B.1.617.1) 1.617.3 Mu (B.1.621, B.1.621.1) Zeta (P.2) Variant of Interest (VOI) Variant of Concern (VOC) Omicron (B.1.1.529, BA.1, BA.1.1, BA.2, BA.3, BA.4 and BA.5 lineages) Variant of High Consequence (VOHC)
SIG name
WHO has assigned simple, easy to say and remember labels for key variants of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, using letters of the Greek alphabet. These labels were chosen after wide consultation and a review of many potential naming systems. WHO convened an expert group of partners from around the world to do so, including experts who are part of existing naming systems, nomenclature and virus taxonomic experts, researchers and national authorities. These labels do not replace existing scientific names (e.g. those assigned by GISAID, Nextstrain and Pango), which convey important scientific information and will continue to be used in research.

medication or acid-reducing drug, refers to a type of medication that helps decrease the production of stomach acid or neutralize existing acid in the stomach. Acid reducers are commonly used to treat conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and acid-related indigestion. Source: Mayo Clinic. (2021). Acid Reflux (GER & GERD) in Adults. Retrieved from: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/gerd/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20361959 Acid reducers work by either blocking the production of acid in the stomach or by directly neutralizing the acid. Common types of acid reducers include proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and histamine-2 receptor blockers (H2 blockers). PPIs inhibit the enzyme responsible for acid production, while H2 blockers reduce acid production by blocking certain receptors in the stomach. These medications are available both over-the-counter (OTC) and by prescription, depending on the specific drug and dosage. It is important to follow the instructions provided by healthcare professionals or the product label and consult a healthcare provider if symptoms persist or worsen.

Allergy medication refers to medications that are specifically designed to alleviate the symptoms associated with allergies. These medications aim to reduce or block the body's immune response to allergens, thus providing relief from symptoms such as sneezing, itching, runny nose, congestion, and watery eyes. There are several types of allergy medications available, including: Antihistamines: Antihistamines work by blocking the effects of histamine, a chemical released by the body during an allergic reaction. They help reduce itching, sneezing, and runny nose. Antihistamines can be classified as first-generation (e.g., diphenhydramine) or second-generation (e.g., cetirizine, loratadine) based on their sedative effects. Decongestants: Decongestants help relieve nasal congestion by narrowing blood vessels in the nasal passages. They can be found in both oral and nasal spray forms. However, nasal spray decongestants should be used for a limited duration to avoid rebound congestion. Nasal Corticosteroids: Nasal corticosteroids are available as nasal sprays and work by reducing inflammation in the nasal passages. They provide long-term relief from nasal congestion, runny nose, and sneezing. Mast Cell Stabilizers: Mast cell stabilizers, available as nasal sprays or eye drops, prevent the release of histamine and other inflammatory substances. They are used to prevent allergic reactions and provide relief from symptoms. Combination Medications: Some allergy medications combine antihistamines with decongestants to provide both symptom relief and nasal congestion relief. It's important to note that the choice of allergy medication depends on the specific symptoms, the individual's age, medical history, and the guidance of a healthcare professional. It's recommended to consult with a healthcare provider or allergist for proper diagnosis and treatment of allergies. Sources: American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI).

Anti-infectives, also known as antimicrobial agents or antibiotics, are medications used to treat infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites. These medications work by inhibiting the growth or killing the microorganisms responsible for the infection. Anti-infectives are a vital tool in healthcare for combating infectious diseases and preventing their spread. There are different classes of anti-infective medications, including: Antibiotics: Antibiotics are primarily used to treat bacterial infections. They can target and kill bacteria or inhibit their growth. Examples include penicillins, cephalosporins, macrolides, tetracyclines, and fluoroquinolones. Antivirals: Antiviral medications are used to treat viral infections by targeting specific steps in the viral replication cycle. They can help reduce the severity and duration of viral illnesses such as influenza, herpes, HIV, and hepatitis. Antifungals: Antifungal medications are used to treat fungal infections, such as candidiasis (yeast infections) or dermatophytosis (ringworm). They can be used topically or systemically, depending on the severity and location of the infection. Antiparasitic agents: Antiparasitic medications are used to treat infections caused by parasites, such as malaria, helminth infections, or protozoal infections. These medications can kill or inhibit the growth of parasites. It's important to note that the choice of anti-infective medication depends on the type of infection, the causative microorganism, its susceptibility, and other patient-specific factors. It's crucial to use these medications appropriately, following the prescribed dosage and duration, to ensure effective treatment and minimize the risk of antibiotic resistance.

Country
Country-wise case statistics refer to the numerical data that provides information about the number of cases of a particular disease or health condition within a specific country. These statistics are often used to monitor and track the spread of diseases, assess the disease burden, and identify trends, patterns, and areas of concern within a particular country. Country-wise case statistics typically include the total number of cases, the number of new cases reported each day or week, the number of deaths related to the disease, the age, gender, and geographic distribution of cases, and other relevant data points. These statistics can help public health officials and policymakers make informed decisions regarding disease control and prevention efforts. In the context of infectious diseases, country-wise case statistics can be used to calculate important epidemiological indicators such as the incidence rate, prevalence rate, and mortality rate. These indicators can help guide public health interventions and policies at the national and local levels. Country-wise case statistics are typically collected and reported by national health agencies and other organizations involved in disease surveillance and monitoring. They are often published online or through other public channels to increase awareness and understanding of the disease among the general public and health professionals.

Resource statistics refer to the numerical data that provides information about the availability and use of resources in a particular area or sector. These statistics can include data on natural resources, such as water, minerals, and forests, as well as human resources, such as the labor force and skilled workers. Resource statistics are used to monitor and evaluate the availability and sustainability of resources, as well as to identify areas where additional resources may be needed. They are often used by policymakers, researchers, and business leaders to make informed decisions about resource allocation, development, and management. For example, in the context of natural resources, resource statistics can help identify areas where there is a high demand for resources and where resource depletion may be a concern. This information can then be used to guide conservation efforts and resource management policies. In the context of human resources, resource statistics can provide insight into the size and skill level of the workforce in a particular area or sector. This information can be used to identify areas where additional training or education may be needed to meet the demands of the job market. Resource statistics are typically collected and reported by government agencies, research institutions, and other organizations involved in resource management and development. They are often published online or through other public channels to increase awareness and understanding of resource availability and use. Sources: United Nations. (2021).

Betacoronavirus (β-CoVs or Beta-CoVs) is one of four genera (Alpha-, Beta-, Gamma-, and Delta-) of coronaviruses. Member viruses are enveloped, positive-strand RNA viruses that infect mammals (of which humans are part). The natural reservoir for betacoronaviruses are bats and rodents. Rodents are the reservoir for the subgenus Embecovirus, while bats are the reservoir for the other subgenera. The coronavirus genera are each composed of varying viral lineages with the betacoronavirus genus containing four such lineages: A, B, C, D. In older literature, this genus is also known as "group 2 coronaviruses". The genus is in the subfamily Orthocoronavirinae in the family Coronaviridae, of the order Nidovirales.

Cornidovirineae is a subfamily of viruses within the family Coronaviridae, which includes the well-known severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), and the more recent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) causing virus, SARS-CoV-2. These viruses are enveloped, single-stranded RNA viruses that have a genome size ranging from 26 to 32 kilobases. They have a characteristic club-like spike protein on their surface that binds to host cells and enables the virus to enter and infect them. This subfamily was first proposed in 2020 based on genetic analysis and distinctive features of the virus. The name "Cornidovirineae" is derived from the Latin word "cornu" meaning horn, which refers to the spike-like projections on the virus's surface. Source: Gorbalenya, A. E., Baker, S. C., Baric, R.

MERS-CoV (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus) variants are different strains or types of the MERS-CoV virus that have developed through mutations in the virus's genetic material. Like other viruses, MERS-CoV can undergo mutations when it replicates, which can result in the emergence of new variants. These variants may have differences in their genetic makeup that can affect how easily they spread, their severity, and how well vaccines or treatments work against them. There have been several MERS-CoV variants identified since the virus was first discovered in 2012. For example, a variant of the virus that emerged in South Korea in 2015 was found to have several genetic differences from earlier strains, and was associated with a large outbreak of MERS in that country. It's important to monitor and track MERS-CoV variants to understand how they might impact the spread and severity of the disease, and to inform public health efforts to control and prevent its transmission. There are several MERS-CoV variants that have been identified by researchers. Here are some examples of MERS-CoV variants: EMC/2012 strain: This was the first strain of MERS-CoV to be identified in 2012 in Saudi Arabia.

Riboviria is a realm of viruses that includes all viruses that use a homologous RNA-dependent polymerase for replication. It includes RNA viruses that encode an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, as well as reverse-transcribing viruses (with either RNA or DNA genomes) that encode an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase. RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), also called RNA replicase, produces RNA (ribonucleic acid) from RNA. RNA-dependent DNA polymerase (RdDp), also called reverse transcriptase (RT), produces DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) from RNA. These enzymes are essential for replicating the viral genome and transcribing viral genes into messenger RNA (mRNA) for translation of viral proteins.
