Several SARS-CoV-2 variants of interest (VOI) have emerged since this virus was first identified as the etiologic agent responsible for COVID-19. Some of these variants have demonstrated differences in both virulence and transmissibility, as well as in evasion of immune responses in hosts vaccinated against the original strain of SARS-CoV-2. There remains a lack of definitive evidence that identifies the genetic...
