In California, at least 152 cases have been reported, the first as early as September 2020, according to state public health officials.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Experts say lambda could be more infectious and resistant to vaccines than the original SARS-CoV-2 virus. But there is no evidence, at least so far, that it\u2019s as infectious as the delta variant that now dominates California.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So do Californians need to worry about this new variant? Not just yet, infectious disease specialists say. Here\u2019s what you need to know about lambda.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>What is the lambda variant?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lambda variant \u2014<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cov-lineages.org\/lineage.html?lineage=C.37\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> also known as \u201cC.37\u201d<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 was first reported in Peru a year ago and it\u2019s now spreading across South America, according to the World Health Organization. Researchers say its unique <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/publications\/m\/item\/weekly-epidemiological-update-on-covid-19---29-june-2021\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">new gene deletions and mutations<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> signal that lambda may be more infectious than the original \u201cwild type\u201d coronavirus and may be potentially resistant to current vaccines, although more studies are needed.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because of those new genetic markers, the WHO in mid-June declared lambda a \u201cvariant of interest.\u201d The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has not yet done the same, in part because so few cases have been reported nationwide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The delta variant dominating U.S. COVID-19 cases is considered a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/variants\/variant-info.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cvariant of concern\u201d<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by both WHO and CDC, in part because it\u2019s much more infectious than the original virus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Why am I hearing about lambda now?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lambda sparked headlines this summer after the WHO <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/publications\/m\/item\/weekly-epidemiological-update-on-covid-19---29-june-2021\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">noted its rapid spread in South American countries<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, including Peru, Ecuador, Argentina and Brazil. It\u2019s since been detected in 29 countries, according to the WHO, including Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While WHO considers lambda a \u201cvariant of interest,\u201d the CDC and California\u2019s public health agency have not followed suit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In late July, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.houstonchronicle.com\/news\/houston-texas\/houston\/article\/Houston-Methodist-Hospital-records-first-lambda-16325190.php\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Houston Methodist Hospital reported<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> its first lambda case. Japan last week announced <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.japantimes.co.jp\/news\/2021\/08\/07\/national\/science-health\/japan-lambda\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">its first case<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, from a woman who arrived from Peru on July 20.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More recently, two highly publicized laboratory studies from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biorxiv.org\/content\/10.1101\/2021.07.28.454085v1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Japan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medrxiv.org\/content\/10.1101\/2021.06.28.21259673v1.full\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Chile<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 both in preprint and not yet peer-reviewed \u2013 have suggested that lambda may be more infectious and less susceptible to current vaccines than the original coronavirus. The Japanese researchers suggested that WHO\u2019s current \u201cvariant of interest\u201d designation for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biorxiv.org\/content\/10.1101\/2021.07.28.454085v1.full\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lambda may underplay<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> its potential threat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Is lambda here in California? What about other states?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes and yes. Since September 2020, the lambda variant has accounted for 152 genetically sequenced COVID-19 cases in California, according to the state Department of Public Health. The first case was found in September, with another 10 in March, 88 in April, 43 in May, eight in June and, most recently, two cases in July.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The state agency declined to identify the counties where the cases occurred.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Commercial and government laboratories test for variants by sequencing the genome of the coronavirus that caused a particular COVID-19 case and looking for mutations and changes in the virus\u2019 characteristic spike protein.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Still, not every COVID-19 case is genetically sequenced to determine whether it was caused by a variant, so the number of lambda-caused cases could be higher. Nationwide only about 15 of every 1,000 cases are sequenced.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At least <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gisaid.org\/hcov19-variants\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1,311 sequenced lambda cases<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have been reported in at least 40 states since the start of the pandemic, with 18 cases identified in the past four weeks, according to the public virus genetic sequence database GISAID. Just one-tenth of 1 percent of the cases that are genetically sequenced involve lambda, according to GISAID.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>How does the lambda variant compare to other known variants?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scientists believe <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biorxiv.org\/content\/10.1101\/2021.07.28.454085v1.full\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lambda is less infectious<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> than the delta variant but more infectious than the original \u201cwild-type\u201d virus \u2013 at least in laboratory tests.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But they don\u2019t yet know how lambda\u2019s different genetic profile will affect community transmission, severity of symptoms or vaccine resistance around the world. Some early clues are emerging.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Chilean researchers tested lambda against antibodies from health care workers who received the Chinese-made Sinovac vaccine, finding that the vaccine failed to work as well as it did with the original virus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, New York University researchers <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biorxiv.org\/content\/10.1101\/2021.07.19.452771v3.full\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tested lambda against the vaccines<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> authorized in the United States and found that the Johnson and Johnson one-dose vaccine was less effective against it and the delta variant compared to the Pfizer and Moderna two-dose vaccines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Again, these are studies in test tubes that have not been peer reviewed, scientists caution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just because vaccines appear less effective when pitted against lambda in a test tube doesn\u2019t mean they won\u2019t protect against severe illness, said Dr. Peter Chin-Hong, a University of California, San Francisco infectious disease specialist. Nearly all hospitalizations and deaths in California and nationwide have occurred in unvaccinated people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Do I need to worry?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not for now, Chin-Hong said. Lambda has been around for months, yet it hasn\u2019t gained a foothold in California and other states so that should be reassuring, he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So far the delta variant has definitively crowded out other variants nationwide. It now accounts for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdph.ca.gov\/Programs\/CID\/DCDC\/Pages\/COVID-19\/COVID-Variants.aspx\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">at least 86%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of California\u2019s sequenced COVID-19 cases and more than 94% of U.S. cases.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cDelta\u2019s aggressive all over the world and lambda hasn\u2019t really taken off,\u201d Chin-Hong said. \u201cAt the end of the day, it\u2019s survival of the fittest.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CalMatters COVID-19 coverage, translation and distribution is supported by generous grants from the Blue Shield of California Foundation, the Penner Family Foundation and the California Health Care Foundation.<\/span><\/i><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BY BARBARA FEDER OSTROV , CalMatters\u00a0 AUGUST 13, 2021 UPDATED AUGUST 16, 2021 &nbsp; A new COVID-19 variant \u2014 named lambda \u2014 has arrived in California.
