The binding strength of Covid-19 variants, Omicron BQ.1, XBB.1.5, XBB 1.16, FE.1, EG.5, BA.2.86, HV.1, and JN.1, with the ACE-2, was calculated insilicoand evaluated with previous variants; the binding strength of new variants is XBB.1.5 << BA.2.86 < Delta < JN.1 < HV.1 < BA.1 << BA.2. The binding s…

The present work shows that it is possible to analytically solve a general model to explain the transmission dynamics of SARS-CoV-2. First, the within-host model is described, and later a between-host model, where the coupling between them is the viral load of SARS-CoV-2. The within-host model descr…
