2020-04-22
Abstract excerpt
On January 26 2020, the first Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) case was reported in Arizona of an individual with travel history (3 rd case in the US) (1). Here, we report on early SARS-CoV-2 sentinel surveillance in Tempe, Arizona (USA). Genomic characterization identified an isolate encoding a 27 amino acid in-frame deletion in accessory protein ORF7a, the ortholog of SARS-CoV immune antagonist ORF7a/X4.
