Viral phylodynamics.

PLoS Computational Biology, 2013
Viral phylodynamics is defined as the study of how epidemiological, immunological, and evolutionary processes act and potentially interact to shape viralphylogenies.

Recent advances in computational phylodynamics [PDF]

Current Opinion in Virology, 2018
Time-stamped, trait-annotated phylogenetic trees built from virus genome data are increasingly used for outbreak investigation and monitoring ongoing epidemics. This routinely involves reconstructing the spatial and demographic processes from large data sets to help unveil the patterns and drivers of virus spread.

Phylodynamics on local sexual contact networks [PDF]

PLOS Computational Biology, 2016
Abstract Phylodynamic models are widely used in infectious disease epidemiology to infer the dynamics and structure of pathogen populations. However, these models generally assume that individual hosts contact one another at random, ignoring the fact that many pathogens spread through highly structured contact networks. We present a new

Phylodynamics and Human-Mediated Dispersal of a Zoonotic Virus [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2010
Understanding the role of humans in the dispersal of predominantly animal pathogens is essential for their control. We used newly developed Bayesian phylogeographic methods to unravel the dynamics and determinants of the spread of dog rabies virus (RABV) in North Africa. Each of the countries studied exhibited largely disconnected spatial dynamics with

Phylodynamics and movement of Phycodnaviruses among aquatic environments [PDF]

The ISME Journal, 2011
Abstract Phycodnaviruses have a significant role in modulating the dynamics of phytoplankton, thereby influencing community structure and succession, nutrient cycles and potentially atmospheric composition because phytoplankton fix about half the carbon dioxide (CO2) on the planet, and some algae release dimethylsulphoniopropionate when ...

The contrasting phylodynamics of human influenza B viruses [PDF]

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 ...

Comprehensive phylogeographic and phylodynamic analyses of global Senecavirus A

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Senecavirus A (SVA) is a member of the genus Senecavirus in the family Picornaviridae that infects pigs and shows symptoms similar to foot and mouth diseases and other vesicular diseases. It is difficult to prevent, thus, causing tremendous economic loss

Statistical approaches to viral phylodynamics [PDF]

, 2019
The recent years have witnessed a rapid increase in the quantity and quality of genomic data collected from human and animal pathogens, viruses in particular. When coupled with mathematical and statistical models, these data allow us to combine evolutionary theory and epidemiology to understand pathogen dynamics.

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 ...

Resistome phylodynamics of multidrug-resistant Shigella isolated from diarrheal patients. [PDF]

Microbiol Spectr
Multi-drug resistance (MDR) in Shigella continues to pose a significant public health challenge, particularly in developing countries. Recent advances in genomics strengthen the surveillance of MDR-pathogens and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) mediators ...
