Comparative Epidemiology of Rabbit Haemorrhagic Disease Virus Strains from Viral Sequence Data
Since their introduction in 1859, European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) have had a devastating impact on agricultural production and biodiversity in Australia, with competition and land degradation by rabbits being one of the key threats to ...

Identification of CRF66_BF, a New HIV-1 Circulating Recombinant Form of South American Origin
Circulating recombinant forms (CRFs) are important components of the HIV-1 pandemic. Among 110 reported in the literature, 17 are BF1 intersubtype recombinant, most of which are of South American origin. Among these, all 5 identified in the Southern Cone

A69 Phylodynamics of language evolution [PDF]
Abstract We used Bayesian evolutionary analysis to study linguistic data and infer phylogenetic trees of language evolution. Languages were encoded as binary strings indicating the presence or absence of members of cognate classes, the equivalence of classes of words with similar meaning, and shared ancestry.

Phylodynamic Model Adequacy Using Posterior Predictive Simulations [PDF]
AbstractRapidly evolving pathogens, such as viruses and bacteria, accumulate genetic change at a similar timescale over which their epidemiological processes occur, such that it is possible to make inferences about their infectious spread using phylogenetic time-trees. For this purpose it is necessary to choose a phylodynamic model.

Phylogenetic and Phylodynamic Analysis of Delta Strains Circulating in Italy
The hepatitis delta virus (HDV) exhibits high genetic and evolutionary variability and is classified into eight genotypes (HDV-1 to -8). HDV-1 is the most widespread genotype worldwide and includes several subtypes.

Phylodynamic approaches to studying avian influenza virus
Avian influenza viruses can cause severe disease in domestic and wild birds and are a pandemic threat. Phylodynamics is the study of how epidemiological, evolutionary, and immunological processes can interact to shape viral phylogenies. This review summarizes how phylodynamic methods have and could contribute to the study of avian influenza viruses ...
