French scientists have detected another Covid-19 variant linked to travel to Cameroon and say it carries 46 mutations that may make it more vaccine-resistant and infectious.
No fewer than 12 cases have been reported so far near Marseille, with the first linked to travel to Cameroon.
But it is so far not outcompeting the dominant Omicron variant, which now makes up more than 60 percent of cases in France.
The strain was discovered by academics based at the IHU Mediterranee Infection on December 10, but there is no evidence it is spreading rapidly.
