The new strain of coronavirus, called D614G, emerged in Europe and has become the most common in the world. Research at Carolina and the University of Wisconsin-Madison shows the D614G strain replicates faster and is more transmissible than the virus, originating in China, that spread in the beginning of the pandemic.
