cord-288731-x2cwyvb7	Puenpa, Jiratchaya	Molecular epidemiology of the first wave of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection in Thailand in 2020	2020-10-06		.txt	text/plain	4207	275	57	In the current study associations between SARS-CoV-2 gene variation and exposure history during the first wave of the outbreak in Thailand between January and May 2020 were investigated. In Thailand the Ministry of Public Health reported the first laboratory-confirmed case of SARS-CoV-2 in a 61-year-old Chinese traveller who had arrived from Wuhan on 12 January 2020. Based on the genome sequences available in GIASID, nucleotide variation in four regions of the SARS-CoV-2 genome was used to conduct viral tracking and identify sites of origin of outbreaks in Thailand. One sample in the current study collected in January 2020 was closely related to the SARS-CoV-2 strain circulating in China at that time identified as type L. A new cohort of imported cases identified in May 2020 included a group of migrant workers in the southern part of Thailand 24 with type G2 SARS-CoV-2.	./cache/cord-288731-x2cwyvb7.txt	./txt/cord-288731-x2cwyvb7.txt
