SARS-CoV-2 spike protein gene variants with N501T and G142D mutation dominated infections in minks in the US
2021-03-24
Abstract excerpt
Large number of minks were infected with SARS-CoV-2 virus containing the spike protein Y453F mutation in Europe, causing zoonosis concerns. To evaluate the genetic characteristics of the US and Canadian mink-derived SARS-CoV-2 sequences, we analyzed all animal-derived (977), all Canadian (19,529) and US (173,277) SARS-CoV-2 sequences deposited in GISAID from December 2019 to March 12, 2021, and identified 2 domina...
