The BA.2.86.* clan of variants is now the majority of sequences at 66%. JN.1 "Pirola" keeps 1st place at 35% with the "birth" of JN.1.4 at 10% in 2nd and HV.1 at 9% in 3rd. Graph tools by @mike_honey_

In early December multiple JN.1 descendants emerged with JN.1.4 already taking 10% of sequenced cases, JN.1.2 at 8% and JN.1.1 at 6% so the family is growing quickly and may prevent JN.1 from hitting 50% on its own.

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

As of mid-October, EG.5.* "Eris" (60%) was still dominant.

BA.2.86.* "Pirola" (4%) began rising during October.

The next challenge to EG.5.* "Eris" (56%) looks like either XBB.1.5.* "Kraken" (16%) or BA.2.86.* "Pirola" (10%), which looks to have started community transmission.

More than 60% of sequences are from the EG.5.* [] family with the others at or below 10% but there is still quite a mixture of variants circulating with different capabilities. 🧵 1/

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.
