Abstract excerpt
Introduction: The Delta variant posed an increased risk to global public health and rapidly replaced the pre-existent variants worldwide. In this study, the genetic diversity and the spatio-temporal dynamics of 662 SARS-CoV2 genomes obtained during the Delta wave across Tunisia were investigated. Methods: Viral whole genome and partial S-segment sequencing was performed using Illumina and Sanger platforms,...
