Abstract excerpt
HCoV-OC43 genomes and their evolution are scarcely studied worldwide and in France, with only 361 genomes available as of October 2023. Here, an in-house PCR amplification system was implemented to obtain retrospectively by next-generation sequencing, then analyze HCoV-OC43 genomes for infections diagnosed with this virus in southern France between February 2017 and October 2022. Multiplex PCR amplification using...
