Epidemiology and Genetic Diversity of SARS-CoV-2 Lineages Circulating in Africa

2021-05-27

Abstract excerpt

COVID-19 disease dynamics have been widely studied in different settings around the globe, but little is known about these patterns in the African continent. <br><br>To investigate the epidemiology and genetic diversity of SARS-CoV-2 lineages circulating in Africa, more than 2400 complete genomes from 33 African countries were retrieved from the GISAID database and analyzed. We investigated their diversity using v...
