Emergence of lineage B. 1.621 in Latin America and the Caribbean

Abstract:

Background Genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in various South American countries produces limited numbers of genomes mainly due to limited funding, sequencing capacity or bioinformatics and analytical expertise. However, factors like high frequencies of community transmission, low vaccination rates and weak public health systems could have contributed to the emergence of variants of interest and concern (VOIs and VOCs) like Gamma (P. 1; Faria et al, 2021) and Lambda (C. 37; Padilla-Rojas et al, 2021; Romero et al, 2021), all of which have shown increasing incidences in certain regions at some stage.
