These findings suggest that multiple introductions of SARS-CoV-2 into Burkina Faso occurred mainly through international travel, with Omicron rapidly becoming dominant. Despite evidence of widespread viral circulation, COVID-19 mortality in Burkina Faso has remained relatively low, according to data from the Ministry of Health. Rather than providing definitive explanations for this paradox, our findings generate hypotheses regarding potential protective factors, including demographic characteristics, host genetics, cross-reactive immunity, and the possibility of underreporting that warrant further investigation guiding responses to future emerging infectious diseases.
