Fig. 5: Phylogenetic tree of the B.1.617.2 lineage from our study samples and those from around the world.

The tree was constructed with 836 genomes, 605 from Kenya (396 from this study), and 231 sub-sampled from the globe (including 29 early B.1.617.2 lineages all from India (Red branches). Genomes from this study are shown in dark blue circular tips, while other Kenyan genomes are shown in light blue circular tips. Kenyan samples branched with AY.16 pango lineage (grey branches) and AY.46 lineage (Black branches). The AY.16 lineage was the majority, followed by the AY.46 lineage. Samples encircled in red (AY.16) and black (AY.61) represent the earliest reported Delta introductions in, both from Nairobi.
