Here's the latest variant picture for South Australia.

EG.5.* "Eris" (33%) appears to have become dominant over "Deltacron" XBC.* (24%) and XBB.1.16.* "Arcturus" (23%), in a somewhat chaotic mix.

Sample volumes seem representative up to October 3.

Here's the latest variant picture for South Australia.

XBB.1.16.* "Arcturus" (26%) is growing recently, and looks about to displace EG.5.* "Eris" (21%) and the "Deltacron" XBC.* variants (27%).

Here's the latest variant picture for South Australia.

EG.5.* "Eris" (28%) has displaced the "Deltacron" XBC.* variants (24%). But there is also impressive recent growth of XBB.1.16.* "Arcturus" (25%).

Here's the latest variant picture for South Australia.

The "Deltacron" XBC.* variants (38%) are holding off the growing EG.5.* "Eris" variant (22%), for now.

Here's the latest variant picture for Tasmania, Australia.

The "Deltacron" XAY.* variant (33%) has put on a surprising sudden surge from late July onwards. This might explain the rise in cases and hospitalisations during that period.

XAY is a recombinant of Omicron BA.2 and Delta AY.45. XAY.* has been slowly evolving: XAY.1 added the Spike D253G mutation, then XAY.1.1 added Spike R346T and ORF1a K2108N. XAY.1.1.1 added Spike D1153Y and finally child lineage GL.1 added Spike D420N. GL.1 is the only sublineage present in the recent data from Tasmania.

Here's the latest variant picture for New South Wales, Australia.

"Deltacron" XBC.* (23%) is rising sharply to challenge the dominance of XBB.1.16.* "Arcturus" (29%).

XBB.2.3.* "Acrux" (15%) is also rising quite rapidly.

The mix of very different variants poses a raised immediate re-infection risk for anyone relying on natural immunity from a recent infection.

The sample volumes seem representative up to June 19.
