Here's the latest SARS-CoV-2 variant picture for India, revealing a novel environment.

The new XFP recombinant was dominant in late April, but seems to have faded lately under challenges from XFG.* and a late FLiRT sub-variant.

Here are the most common individual variants for India. The FLiRT sub-variant that is now dominant is revealed as LF.7.9.1. That adds the ORF3a:G44E mutation and some nucleotide mutations.

The parent LF.7.9 was already moderately successful, benefiting from its Spike L441R, H445P and A475V mutations.

Sample data sharing from India came to a grinding halt in September, with just a handful of samples prior to the batch shown above.

Of course SARS-CoV-2 continued to circulate and evolve, and the variant hunters could see glimpses of new variants appearing in the international travellers arriving from India. So it is a relief to see direct sample sharing has resumed.

Although the volumes are low, the recent data from India has quite a good geographical spread. Perhaps a bit of a skew towards the southern states?
