Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on SARS-CoV-2 variant epidemiology in Côte d'Ivoire, examining how variants with increased transmissibility and immune evasion have influenced the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Utilizing 234 full SARS-CoV-2 genomes collected during the first and second waves of the pandemic in the country, researchers identified 20 viral lineages, with the Alpha and Eta variants notably driving the second wave in 2021.
- The findings indicate that the spread of these variants in Côte d'Ivoire was primarily due to regional travel within West Africa, rather than international travel from outside the continent.
