Phylodynamics analysis of HIV epidemic history in Belarus in 1987–2022 [PDF]

Frontiers in Epidemiology
This paper presents the first systematic molecular epidemiology study of the HIV epidemic in Belarus, an Eastern European country that, like much of Eastern Europe and including the Post-Soviet region, has been largely understudied in relation to HIV ...

Case-control and genomic epidemiology characterization of SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infections during the Delta-to-Omicron transition [PDF]

mBio
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines reduced severe coronavirus disease 2019, but variants like Delta and Omicron caused widespread breakthrough infections (BIs). Mexico, offering diverse vaccines, and its Yucatán region,

Molecular Detection of Southern Tomato Amalgavirus Prevalent in Tomatoes and Its Genomic Characterization with Global Evolutionary Dynamics

Viruses, 2022
Southern tomato amalgavirus (STV) is a cryptic pathogen that is abundant in tomato production fields and intensifies the resurgence of tomato yellow stunt disease (ToYSD), together with other phytoviruses.

Comparing the evolutionary dynamics of predominant SARS-CoV-2 virus lineages co-circulating in Mexico

eLife, 2023
Over 200 different SARS-CoV-2 lineages have been observed in Mexico by November 2021. To investigate lineage replacement dynamics, we applied a phylodynamic approach and explored the evolutionary trajectories of five dominant lineages that circulated ...

Infectious disease phylodynamics with occurrence data

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Phylodynamic models use pathogen genome sequence data to infer epidemiological dynamics. With the increasing genomic surveillance of pathogens, especially during the SARS‐CoV‐2 pandemic, new practical questions about their use are emerging.

Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) Epidemiology in an Integrated Pig Company of Northern Italy: A Multilevel Threat Requiring Multilevel Interventions

Viruses, 2021
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is probably the most relevant viral disease affecting pig farming. Despite the remarkable efforts paid in terms of vaccination administration and biosecurity, eradication and long-term control have ...

Retrospective Characterization of the 2006–2007 Swine Vesicular Disease Epidemic in Northern Italy by Whole Genome Sequence Analysis

Viruses, 2021
Advances in the epidemiological tracing of pathogen transmission have been largely driven by the increasing characterisation of whole-genome sequence data obtained at a finer resolution from infectious disease outbreaks.

Evolutionary dynamics of Usutu virus: Worldwide dispersal patterns and transmission dynamics in Europe

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
BackgroundUsutu virus (USUV) is an emerging mosquito-borne Flavivirus, with birds as the main zoonotic reservoir. Humans are accidental hosts and mostly develop mild or even asymptomatic infections, although severe complications such as encephalitis can ...
