Overview

Molecular epidemiology reveals genetic diversity of SARS-CoV-2 in Northern Greece, indicating need for ongoing genomic monitoring.

Key Points

  • Analyze the molecular epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 in Northern Greece from 2020 to 2025.
  • 66 respiratory samples collected from hospitalized patients in Northern Greece were sequenced.
  • Whole-genome sequencing utilized Oxford Nanopore Technologies’ MinION Mk1C platform.
  • Sequences were analyzed using PANGO, Nextclade, and GISAID for lineage assignment.
  • 34 PANGO lineages identified across 66 genomes.
  • Delta was detected in early 2022 and displaced by Omicron by May 2022.
  • Emerging lineages included BA.4/BA.5 and variants of interest like EG.5.
