Stealth replication of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron in the nasal epithelium at physiological temperature

2025-05-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The COVID-19 pandemic was marked by successive waves of SARS-CoV-2 variants with distinct properties. The Omicron variant that emerged in late 2021 showed a major antigenic shift and rapidly spread worldwide. Since then, Omicron-derived variants have maintained their global dominance, for reasons that remain incompletely understood. We report that the original Omicron variant BA.1 evolved severa...
