    Researchers at Texas A&M University this week reported a new strain of the coronavirus called the BV-1.

    The BV-1 variant was found in a saliva sample taken from a student who lives off campus and tested positive for the coronavirus on March 5, the university announced Monday.

    Researchers have not found the strain in other individuals but called its genetic make-up ?concerning? because it may be resistant to antibodies.
