Nagpur: impressed with the six entire back-to-back series genomes (WGS) series back-to-back series within one month in the city, the State Public Health Department has now asked for the Environmental Virological Cells of the National Environmental Research Institute (Neer) to study covid samples from all over 11 County Laboratory Vidarbha.The has also been appointed as Insacog (India SARS-COV2 Genomics Consortium) Genome Sequencing Laboratory / Regional Genome Sequencing Laboratory and Sentinel Center for Sarscov2 Northeast Region (Vidarbha) from the Maharashtra.The lab receives more than 200 covid samples from Nagpur and Gadchiroli districts on the first day themselves.
Lab neeri has independently carried out the sequencing of the nagpur sample genome since January, every time it gives results in a short time a maximum of two days.
More than 500 samples have been processed since the CSIR-neeri set the first Vidarbha Genom Sequencer Month.dr then Krishna Khairnar, head of the cell, said, “We are happy for the technology offer of the spearhead technology for the general public from Vidarbha.
For large countries such as Maharashtra, high-end facilities such as needed to decentralize access to cutting edge facilities and divide workloads.
The Indian government is looking for centers such as the advantages so that the supervision of genotypes that can be improved.csir-neeri is ready to offer training to develop skilled workers of institutions or centers ready to take WGS in every part of not only Maharashtra, but also the whole country.
” Dr.
SS Raut, the main researcher of the Research and Diagnostic Research and Laboratory (VRDL) in Indira Gandhi Gandhi Medical College & Hospital (IGGMCH) which is the center of Sentinel, said the Ministry of Public Health has not been specifically specific to each number.
“We send 37 samples having a cycle threshold (CT) value of less than 25 days in the first place.
We will regularly send samples to the neeri laboratory according to their request, “he said.
The neeri laboratory has been carried out by WGS in more than 500 samples collected from various central and mobile vans operated by Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC).
The Omicron variant B.1.1.529 was found dominant in the sarcov2 sample studying until mid-January.
Then, Omicron BA.2 lineage was seen as dominant among positive samples from both symptomatic patients and without symptoms from the city of Nagpur.
In the midst of increasing Covid toll roads in the country and fear of new mutations, WGS by the neeri laboratory considers important.
Laboratory work attracts the attention of the authorities and institutions because they play an important role in revealing the supervision that the main investigation failed to see the lineage ba.2 lineage.The ba.2 escaped SGTF and the omisure kit RT-PCR walked, leaving doctors and microbiology doubtfully about the existence of continued delta Variants.
Many moderate samples for severe pain patients do not show the ‘s’ gene failure in SGTF and test kit omisure, which is considered an initial diagnosis.
Tests are prescribed to make rapid decisions on the treatment protocol for moderate patients for severe manifestations of Covid-19.as omicron variants are considered mild, monoclonal therapy is not recommended for patients affected by them.
However, BA.2, also known as an Omicron stealth, does not leave the choice of WGS to confirm its presence.info * 2020 | Virological cells of this neeri environment started ICMR approved RT-PCR testing lab * 2021 | The lab is processed more than 900 positive covid samples in connection with CCMB Hyderabad.
Reported Delta variant in January * 2022 | Set up Vidarbha is the first genome sequencer.
Start Study on City Samples * 7 Feb | Appointed as Insacog IGSL / RGSL and Sentinel Center for SARSCOV2 WGS activities
