Emerging Microbes and InfectionsThe H1N1pdm09 influenza virus, which emerged in 2009 following a unique reassortment of swine-origin gene segments, rapidly replaced the seasonal H1N1 strain and triggered the first influenza pandemic of the twenty-first century.

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 ...

PathogensThe dengue virus (DENV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus endemic to many tropical and subtropical regions. Over the past few decades, the global incidence of dengue has risen dramatically, with the virus now present in over 100 countries, putting nearly ...

Focal persistence and phylodynamics of Heartland virus in Georgia. [PDF]
Virus EvolAbstract Heartland virus (HRTV) is an emerging tick-borne virus associated with severe illness in the USA. There are large gaps in knowledge of HRTV diversity, evolution, and transmission due to a paucity of HRTV-positive samples and genome sequences.

Phylodynamics of H5N1 avian influenza virus in Indonesia
Molecular Ecology, 2012 AbstractUnderstanding how pathogens invade and become established in novel host populations is central to the ecology and evolution of infectious disease. Influenza viruses provide unique opportunities to study these processes in nature because of their rapid evolution, extensive surveillance, large data sets and propensity to jump species boundaries ...

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
