GENETIC EPIDEMIOLOGY USING WHOLE GENOME SEQUENCING AND HAPLOTYPE NETWORKS REVEALED THE LINKAGE OF SARS-COV-2 INFECTION IN NOSOCOMIAL OUTBREAK

Genetic epidemiology using whole genome sequencing and haplotype networks revealed the linkage of SARS-CoV-2 infection in nosocomial outbreak

Summary: Background: A characteristic feature of SARS-CoV-2 is its ability to transmit from pre- or asymptomatic patients, complicating the tracing of infection pathways and causing outbreaks.Despite several reports that whole genome sequencing (WGS) and haplotype networks are useful for epidemiologic analysis, little is known about their use in no
