• Genomics and epidemiology of the P.1 SARS-CoV-2 lineage in Manaus, Brazil (2021, background): “7 has higher transmissibility and causes more severe illness compared with previously circulating lineages in the UK (1, 16, 17).”
• Outbreak.info genomic reports: scalable and dynamic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 variants and mutations (2023, positive): “7 lineage was shown to be 40-60% more transmissible than previously circulating lineages and this intrinsic biological property led to the rapid growth in its prevalence worldwide [23,24].”
