Overview

Genomic surveillance in Senegal during peak COVID-19; extends regional variant tracking but leaves open clinical implications.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Nasopharyngeal samples testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 in urban settings in Senegal from March to April 2021 (n=291 genotypable consensus genome sequences)
I
Intervention
Whole genome sequencing using the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 sequencing system and COVIDSeq protocol
C
Comparator
Wuhan reference genome (for SNP identification)
O
Outcome
Identification and analysis of SARS-CoV-2 mutations and lineagessurrogate

The study highlights substantial SARS-CoV-2 diversification in Senegal during the March-April 2021 wave, including the first detection of a strain belonging to the P.1.14 sublineage.
