We sequenced 10% of imported severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infections detected in travelers to Hong Kong and revealed the genomic diversity of regions of origin, including lineages not previously reported from those countries. Our results suggest that international or regional travel hubs might be useful surveillance sites to monitor sequence diversity.
我们对在前往香港的旅行者中检测到的10%的输入性严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2感染进行了测序,并揭示了病毒起源地区的基因组多样性,包括那些国家之前未报告过的谱系。我们的结果表明,国际或地区性旅游枢纽可能是监测序列多样性的有用监测点。
