Dispersal patterns and influence of air travel during the global expansion of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern
7 Jun 2023
Abstract excerpt
The Alpha, Beta, and Gamma SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOCs) co-circulated globally during 2020 and 2021, fueling waves of infections. They were displaced by Delta during a third wave worldwide in 2021, which, in turn, was displaced by Omicron in late 2021.
