A novel study by the University of Oxford’s Big Data Institute (BDI) has identifed a highly virulent HIV strain in the Netherlands. We speak to Dr. Chris Wymant, senior researcher in pathogen dynamics at BDI, to learn more about the applications of this research.
Oxford University researchers found the new mutation - called the VB variant - has already infected 109 people, the vast majority of whom are in the Netherlands.
