It can be used in contexts where you are discussing different variations or types of something, such as a virus, bacteria, or even ideas.
Example: "Researchers are studying an alternative strain of the virus to understand its effects on the immune system."
Alternatives: "different variant" or "alternative version".

Optical FBG (Fiber Bragg Grating) sensor is an alternative strain measurement method based on the Bragg gratings in optical fiber.
To watch it now is to catch a glimpse of an alternative strain of British cinema, and to witness the raw "piss-taking" promise of a crop of actors who flourished for a moment and then were gone.
