Where did the COVID-19 cases in NM come from?
For the first time, KOAT is discovering more about where the COVID-19 cases in New Mexico came from. Doctors at the University of New Mexico Healthcare facility are closely evaluating the laboratory results of COVID-19 patients in our state, and they have actually found that a number of our first infections were travel-related, originating from places like Europe and New York City. “We have actually been doing genome sequencing on SARS-CoV-2 positive samples that we’ve gotten here from the department of health in New Mexico,” stated Dr. Darrell L. Dinwiddie. “When we get those total genome sequences, of the RNA of the infection, we can then compare those sequences to genomes from around the country and around the globe that other scientists have been sequencing.” Physicians received about 80 favorable cases and have finished hereditary sequencing on about 48 of them. “It validates a great deal of what we presumed at first in the significance of global travel serving as a significant motorist in the initial spread of the infection,” Dr. Daryl Domman stated. Medical professionals stated every positive case is associated with a various geographic place, because strains alter with time. “We have some that belong to Utah and Washington state, so it’s this confluence of multiple introductions coming into the state,” Domman stated. Currently New Mexico doesn’t have any cases straight connected with China. New Mexico doctors are also not the only ones doing this research. They are part of a nationwide consortium of research study universities and public health departments working to track the disease. “We’re kinda integrating modeling efforts in order to assist offer our policy makers, and public health authorities with more details to help them assist us through this pandemic,” stated Domman. “It’s been definitely essential to assist in the global fight against COVID-19 So it’s been remarkable to be a part of. We’re not out of the woods yet, therefore, we’re just pleased to be a part and contribute in anyhow that we can.” Domman and Dinwiddie said they ‘d like analysis all the COVID-19 cases in New Mexico, however that will depend upon funding. They stated having the hereditary sequencing of various stress, will help physicians developing treatments and vaccines.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.–
For the first time, KOAT is discovering more about where the COVID-19 cases in New Mexico originated from.
Medical Professionals at the University of New Mexico Medical facility are closely analyzing the lab outcomes of COVID-19 patients in our state, and they’ve discovered that much of our first infections were travel-related, coming from locations like Europe and New York City.
” We have actually been doing genome sequencing on SARS-CoV-2 favorable samples that we have actually obtained here from the department of health in New Mexico,” said Dr. Darrell L. Dinwiddie. “When we get those total genome sequences, of the RNA of the infection, we can then compare those series to genomes from around the country and around the globe that other researchers have actually been sequencing.”
Physicians received about 80 favorable cases and have actually finished genetic sequencing on about 48 of them.
” It verifies a great deal of what we thought initially in the value of worldwide travel functioning as a major motorist in the preliminary spread of the virus,” Dr. Daryl Domman stated.
Medical professionals said every positive case is related to a different geographical location, because stress alter in time.
” We have some that belong to Utah and Washington state, so it’s this confluence of several intros entering into the state,” Domman said.
Currently New Mexico doesn’t have any cases straight connected with China. New Mexico medical professionals are likewise not the only ones doing this research. They are part of a nationwide consortium of research study universities and public health departments working to track the disease.
” We’re kinda integrating modeling efforts in order to help offer our policy makers, and public health authorities with more information to assist them guide us through this pandemic,” said Domman. “It’s been absolutely vital to assist in the worldwide battle versus COVID-19 It’s been amazing to be a part of. We’re not out of the woods yet, therefore, we’re simply delighted to be a part and contribute in anyhow that we can.”
Domman and Dinwiddie stated they ‘d like analysis all the COVID-19 cases in New Mexico, but that will depend on funding. They said having the hereditary sequencing of various pressures, will help physicians developing therapies and vaccines.
