Phylodynamic analysis of a viral infection network [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012
Viral infections by sexual and droplet transmission routes typically spread through a complex host-to-host contact network. Clarifying the transmission network and epidemiological parameters affecting the variations and dynamics of a specific pathogen is a major issue in the control of infectious diseases.

Ebolavirus evolution and emergence are associated with land use change

Ecological Monographs, Volume 95, Issue 1, February 2025.
Abstract Anthropogenic land use change facilitates disease emergence by altering the interface between humans and pathogen reservoirs and is hypothesized to drive pathogen evolution. Here, we show a positive association between land use change and the evolution and dispersal of Zaire ebolavirus (EBOV) and Sudan ebolavirus (SUDV).

Genomic Epidemiology of the Main SARS‐CoV‐2 Variants Circulating in Italy During the Omicron Era

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 97, Issue 2, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Since early 2022 the Omicron variant has rapidly spread worldwide, becoming the dominant variant to date. The study aimed to investigate the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of COVID‐19 patients and reconstruct the genomic epidemiology of main SARS‐CoV‐2 Omicron sublineages in Italy in 2022.

Phylodynamic and Epistatic Analysis of Coxsackievirus A24 and Its Variant

Viruses
Coxsackievirus A24 (CV-A24) is a human enterovirus that causes acute flaccid paralysis. However, a Coxsackievirus A24 variant (CV-A24v) is the most common cause of eye infections.

The contrasting phylodynamics of human influenza B viruses

eLife, 2015
A complex interplay of viral, host, and ecological factors shapes the spatio-temporal incidence and evolution of human influenza viruses. Although considerable attention has been paid to influenza A viruses, a lack of equivalent data means that an integrated evolutionary and epidemiological framework has until now not been available for influenza B ...

Phylodynamics of the HIV-1 Epidemic in Cuba

PLoS ONE, 2013
Previous studies have shown that the HIV-1 epidemic in Cuba displayed a complex molecular epidemiologic profile with circulation of several subtypes and circulating recombinant forms (CRF); but the evolutionary and population history of those viral variants remains unknown.

Phylodynamic Structure in the Botswana HIV Epidemic

Abstract Background Studying viral sequences can provide insights into the structure of host contact networks through which the virus is transmitted. Uncovering the population structure of the HIV-1 epidemic in Botswana will help optimise public health interventions and may identify hidden sub-epidemics. We sought to determine the phylodynamic
