Viral infection and transmission in a large, well-traced outbreak caused by the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant

Baisheng Li et al.

Summary: This article reports the first local transmission of the Delta variant in mainland China. Compared to A/B lineage infections during the first wave in China in early 2020, Delta infections had viral loads that were on average about 1000 times greater when they first tested positive, suggesting potentially faster viral replication and greater infectiousness during early infection. The transmission bottleneck size of the Delta variant was generally narrow, with 1-3 virions in most donor-recipient transmission pairs. However, transmission of minor intra-host variants resulted in at least 3 of the 34 substitutions identified in the outbreak, highlighting the contribution of intra-host variants to population-level viral diversity during rapid spread.

Clinical and Virological Features of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Variants of Concern: A Retrospective Cohort Study Comparing B.1.1.7 (Alpha), B.1.351 (Beta), and B.1.617.2 (Delta)

Sean Wei Xiang Ong et al.

Summary: The study revealed an association between infection with the B.1.617.2 variant and increased disease severity, higher viral loads, and prolonged duration of viral shedding. Vaccination remained protective against severe outcomes.

Hospital admission and emergency care attendance risk for SARS-CoV-2 delta (B.1.617.2) compared with alpha (B.1.1.7) variants of concern: a cohort study

Katherine A. Twohig et al.

Summary: A study in England found that patients with COVID-19 infected with the delta variant were more likely to be admitted to hospital or attend emergency care compared to those infected with the alpha variant. This suggests that outbreaks of the delta variant in unvaccinated populations may pose a greater burden on healthcare services.

Serial Interval and Transmission Dynamics during SARS-CoV-2 Delta Variant Predominance, South Korea

Sukhyun Ryu et al.

Summary: We estimated the mean serial interval and superspreading potential of the Delta variant in South Korea. The intervals were similar during two different study periods, as were the proportions of cases responsible for the majority of transmissions.

Transmission heterogeneities, kinetics, and controllability of SARS-CoV-2

Kaiyuan Sun et al.

Summary: The study reveals significant transmission heterogeneity of SARS-CoV-2, with a small proportion of individuals contributing to most secondary infections. Transmission risk is positively correlated with exposure duration and social interactions, modulated by demographic and clinical factors. During lockdown, transmission risk increases within families but decreases with isolation and quarantine measures for all types of contacts.

Effect of Delta variant on viral burden and vaccine effectiveness against new SARS-CoV-2 infections in the UK

Koen B. Pouwels et al.

Summary: A large, community-based study in the United Kingdom indicates that the effectiveness of BNT162b2 and ChAdOx1 vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 infections with symptoms or high viral burden is reduced with the Delta variant compared to the Alpha variant. Although the effectiveness of two doses is at least as great as protection afforded by prior natural infection, there are significant differences in the dynamics of immunity after the second dose between BNT162b2 and ChAdOx1.

Estimated transmissibility and impact of SARS-CoV-2 lineage B.1.1.7 in England

Nicholas G. Davies et al.

Summary: A new variant of SARS-CoV-2 has emerged in England, with a higher reproduction number and potential for large resurgences of COVID-19 cases. Without stringent control measures, it is projected that COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths in England for the first 6 months of 2021 will exceed those in 2020. The variant has spread globally and exhibited similar transmission increases in Denmark, Switzerland, and the United States.

High infectiousness immediately before COVID-19 symptom onset highlights the importance of continued contact tracing

Summary: The study shows that a significant proportion of transmissions in SARS-COV-2 infections occur before the onset of symptoms, emphasizing the importance of continued contact tracing until effective vaccines are widely distributed.

On the relationship between serial interval, infectiousness profile and generation time

Sonja Lehtinen et al.

Summary: The timing of transmission is crucial for understanding the dynamics and control of an epidemic, but estimating the generation times presents challenges. The two commonly used approaches for estimating generation times based on serial intervals result in different generation time distributions with varying variances, which can impact the controllability of an epidemic. By considering these estimates as upper and lower bounds, a pragmatic solution is to use both approaches in downstream analysis.
