    Studysummary In this study, researchers in Southeastern Wisconsin characterized circulating SARS-CoV-2 lineages, notably identifying the dominance of Omicron variants, including sublineages XBB.1.5, XBB.1.16, and XBB.1.9.1, which exhibit mutations aiding viral transmission and immune evasion. This genetic analysis supports public health efforts in monitoring evolving virus strains.
