Evaluating the Effects of SARS-CoV-2 Spike Mutation D614G on Transmissibility and Pathogenicity

Erik Volz et al.

Summary: The study suggests a positive selection for the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein variant D614G in the UK, but no evidence of differences in COVID-19 mortality or clinical severity in patients infected with this variant. 614G is associated with higher viral load and younger age of patients compared to 614D.

Establishment and lineage dynamics of the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic in the UK

Louis du Plessis et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the genetic lineage structure of the early UK COVID-19 epidemic through genomic sampling, identifying that virus lineages introduced before the national lockdown tended to be larger and more dispersed. After the lockdown, lineage importation and regional diversity decreased, while lineage elimination depended on lineage size. The research emphasizes the impact of genetic perspective on transmission dynamics for COVID-19 epidemiology and control.

Sixteen novel lineages of SARS-CoV-2 in South Africa

Houriiyah Tegally et al.

Summary: The study identified 16 new lineages of SARS-CoV-2 in South Africa between March and August 2020, with unique mutations not found elsewhere. Three lineages (B.1.1.54, B.1.1.56, and C.1) dominated during the country's first wave, accounting for approximately 42% of all infections. The C.1 lineage, with 16 nucleotide mutations including the D614G spike protein change, became the most geographically widespread by August 2020. Genomic surveillance played a crucial role in identifying the 501Y.V2 variant in South Africa in December 2020.

Emergence and spread of SARS-CoV-2 lineage B.1.620 with variant of concern-like mutations and deletions

Gytis Dudas et al.

Summary: The emergence and spread of a new potential SARS-CoV-2 variant of interest, B.1.620, is described. This lineage, first identified in Lithuania, has established local transmission in Europe on multiple occasions and likely emerged in Central Africa.

Genomic sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 in Rwanda reveals the importance of incoming travelers on lineage diversity

Yvan Butera et al.

Summary: This study analyzed 203 SARS-CoV-2 whole genome sequences from strains circulating in Rwanda from May 2020 to February 2021, reporting a shift in variant distribution and detection of concerning variants among incoming travelers. The importance of neighboring countries and local transmission in seeding introductions into Rwanda was highlighted, emphasizing the need for systematic genomic surveillance and regional collaborations in combating COVID-19.

Molecular Analysis of SARS-CoV-2 Genetic Lineages in Jordan: Tracking the Introduction and Spread of COVID-19 UK Variant of Concern at a Country Level

Malik Sallam et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the genetic variability of SARS-CoV-2 in Jordan, identifying 19 different genetic lineages with the first Jordan lineage being the most common. The UK variant of concern was introduced into Jordan in late November 2020, coinciding with a surge in COVID-19 cases in the country in early 2021. Monitoring the rapid spread of this variant in Jordan is crucial.

Emergence and rapid transmission of SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.7 in the United States

Nicole L. Washington et al.

Summary: The highly transmissible B.1.1.7 variant of SARS-CoV-2, first identified in the United Kingdom, has been spreading in the United States with multiple introductions as early as late November 2020. The variant shows a logistic growth rate with roughly weekly doubling and increased transmission, requiring immediate action to minimize COVID-19 morbidity and mortality.

Evidence of the effectiveness of travel-related measures during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic: a rapid systematic review

Karen Ann Grepin et al.

Summary: Travel measures have played a crucial role in shaping the early transmission dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemic, with early implementation identified as a key determinant of effectiveness. While most studies focused on international travel measures, it is important to consider domestic travel measures as well to avoid biased estimates.

Untangling introductions and persistence in COVID-19 resurgence in Europe

Philippe Lemey et al.

Summary: In late summer 2020, more than half of the SARS-CoV-2 lineages circulating in many European countries resulted from new introductions, and the success in onward transmission of these newly introduced lineages was negatively associated with the local incidence of COVID-19. The widespread dissemination of variants in summer 2020 highlights the threat of viral spread when restrictions are lifted.

Spread of a SARS-CoV-2 variant through Europe in the summer of 2020

Emma B. Hodcroft et al.

Summary: A variant of SARS-CoV-2, 20E (EU1), was identified in Spain in early summer 2020 and later spread across Europe. Despite not showing increased transmissibility, the variant's success can be attributed to rising incidence in Spain, resumption of travel, and lack of effective screening and containment measures. Travel played a significant role in introducing the variant multiple times to European countries during the summer, undermining local efforts to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Spatiotemporal invasion dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 lineage B.1.1.7 emergence

Moritz U. G. Kraemer et al.

Summary: Understanding the spatial invasion dynamics of the B.1.1.7 lineage, researchers found a multistage process with early growth rates linked to human mobility and asymmetric lineage export from dominant source locations. Additionally, they explored how the spread of B.1.1.7 was influenced by nonpharmaceutical interventions and spatial variation in previous attack rates. The study emphasizes the importance of considering behavioral and epidemiological contexts in accurately interpreting the growth rates of emerging variants of concern.

Assignment of epidemiological lineages in an emerging pandemic using the pangolin tool

Aine O'Toole et al.

Summary: The global virus genomics community has responded unprecedentedly to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, leading to significant advances in 'real-time' generation and sharing of genomic data. The development of new analytical methods, such as pangolin, has been necessary to handle the rapid growth in virus genome data production. Pangolin has processed nearly two million virus genomes, aiding in SARS-CoV-2 genomic epidemiology and providing researchers with valuable information about the pandemic's transmission lineages.

Summary: The study identified mutations in the S gene among SARS-CoV-2 sequences collected in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), focusing on the D614G mutation. Results showed a significant increase in the proportion of D614G over a short period of time, and phylogenetic analysis demonstrated inter-country mixing of sequences.
