Viruses Previously Identified in Brazil as Belonging to HIV-1 CRF72_BF1 Represent Two Closely Related Circulating Recombinant Forms, One of Which, Designated CRF122_BF1, Is Also Circulating in Spain

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Circulating recombinant forms (CRFs) are important components of the HIV-1 pandemic. Those derived from recombination between subtype B and subsubtype F1, with 18 reported, most of them of South American origin, are among the most diverse. In this study,

Use of Whole-Genome Sequencing to Unravel the Genetic Diversity of a Prevalent Mycobacterium bovis Spoligotype in a Multi-Host Scenario in Spain

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Despite the efforts invested in the eradication of bovine tuberculosis in Spain, herd prevalence has remained constant in the country during the last 15 years (~1.5–1.9%) due to a combination of epidemiological factors impairing disease control ...

Phylogenetic Relatedness of Circulating HIV-1C Variants in Mochudi, Botswana [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Determining patterns of HIV transmission is increasingly important for the most efficient use of modern prevention interventions. HIV phylogeny can provide a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying HIV transmission networks in ...

Dissemination Dynamics of HIV-1 Subtype B Pandemic and Non-pandemic Lineages Circulating in Amazonas, Brazil

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The HIV-1 epidemic in the Amazonas state, as in most of Brazil, is dominated by subtype B. The state, nonetheless, is singular for its significant co-circulation of the variants BCAR, which can mostly be found in the Caribbean region, and BPAN, a clade ...

Horseshoe-based Bayesian nonparametric estimation of effective population size trajectories

, 2019
Phylodynamics is an area of population genetics that uses genetic sequence data to estimate past population dynamics. Modern state-of-the-art Bayesian nonparametric methods for recovering population size trajectories of unknown form use either change ...

Integrating the landscape epidemiology and genetics of RNA viruses: rabies in domestic dogs as a model [PDF]

, 2012
Landscape epidemiology and landscape genetics combine advances in molecular techniques, spatial analyses and epidemiological models to generate a more real-world understanding of infectious disease dynamics and provide powerful new tools for the study of

Phylodynamic analysis revealed that human mobility and vaccination were correlated to the local spread of SARS-CoV-2 in Republic of Korea

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2023
Following the global emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 Alpha variant of concern (VOC) in 2020, the Delta variant triggered another wave in 2021. The AY.69 lineage, a Delta VOC, was particularly prevalent in Republic of Korea (South Korea) from May 2021 to ...

Simultaneous reconstruction of evolutionary history and epidemiological dynamics from viral sequences with the birth-death SIR model

, 2014
The evolution of RNA viruses such as HIV, Hepatitis C and Influenza virus occurs so rapidly that the viruses' genomes contain information on past ecological dynamics.

What happened after the epidemic? Equine influenza surveillance sheds light on sources and seasonal risk in the United Kingdom

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The epidemiology of equine influenza (EI) in the United Kingdom has not been systematically described since the 2019 epidemic. Objectives To summarise UK EI surveillance (2020–2024), quantify outbreak seasonality and assess movement‐related sources. Study Design Retrospective observational analysis of national surveillance and horse

Landscape attributes governing local transmission of an endemic zoonosis: rabies virus in domestic dogs [PDF]

, 2018
Landscape heterogeneity plays an important role in disease spread and persistence, but quantifying landscape influences and their scale dependence is challenging.
