Genomics and epidemiology of the P.1 SARS-CoV-2 lineage in Manaus, Brazil.

Nuno R. Faria, +74 more
- 21 May 2021 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a two-category dynamical model that integrates genomic and mortality data to estimate that P.1 may be 1.7-to 2.4-fold more transmissible and that previous (non-P.1) infection provides 54 to 79% of the protection against infection with P.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution and epidemic spread of SARS-CoV-2 in Brazil.

Darlan da Silva Candido, +85 more
- 23 Jul 2020 - 
TL;DR: New light is shed on the epidemic transmission and evolutionary trajectories of SARS-CoV-2 lineages in Brazil and evidence that current interventions remain insufficient to keep virus transmission under control in this country is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epidemiological and clinical characteristics of the COVID-19 epidemic in Brazil.

TL;DR: A positive association between higher per-capita income and COVID-19 diagnosis was identified and the severe acute respiratory infection cases with unknown aetiology were associated with lower per-Capita income.

TL;DR: In this paper, the emergence and circulation of a new SARS-CoV-2 variant of concern, lineage P.1, that acquired 17 mutations, including a trio in the spike protein (K417T, E484K and N501Y) associated with increased binding to the human ACE2 receptor.
