The continuing evolution of the SARS-CoV-2 virus has led to the emergence of many
variants, including variants of concern (VOCs). CRISPR-Cas systems have been used to …

Wildlife reservoirs of broad-host-range viruses have the potential to enable evolution of viral
variants that can emerge to infect humans. In North America, there is phylogenomic …

In response to the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern, the global scientific

The SARS-CoV-2 Omicron sub-variants BA. 2.86 and JN. 1 contain multiple mutations in the
spike protein that were not present in previous variants of concern and Omicron sub …

Wildlife reservoirs of SARS-CoV-2 can lead to viral adaptation and spillback from wildlife to
humans. In North America, there is evidence of spillover of SARS-CoV-2 from humans to …

Background Environmental surveillance (ES) of a pathogen is crucial for understanding the
community load of disease. As an early warning system, ES for SARS-CoV-2 has …

Under-reporting of COVID-19 and the limited information about circulating SARS-CoV-2
