Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses, Volume 20, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Over the past two decades, West Africa has experienced recurrent incursions of Goose/Guangdong‐lineage highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1), with Nigeria as a hotspot for repeated introductions and sustained circulation. Since 2021, European‐origin clade 2.3.4.4b H5Nx genotypes, particularly EA‐2020‐C, have predominated in regional

e3SIM: Epidemiological‐ecological‐evolutionary simulation framework for genomic epidemiology
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 1051-1059, April 2026.Abstract Infectious disease dynamics result from the complex interplay of epidemiological, ecological and evolutionary (epi‐eco‐evo) processes. Accurately modelling these coupled processes is crucial for understanding pathogen spread and informing public health strategies.

Scientists' Warning on the Rapid Evolution of Parasites in the Anthropocene
Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Human activities are changing the natural world at an accelerating pace, and as a consequence exerting novel and often strong selection pressures on living organisms. For species with traits conferring huge inherent evolutionary potential, like parasites, the outcome may be rapid adaptive responses spanning multiple phenotypic traits. The rise

Sampling through time and phylodynamic inference with coalescent and birth-death models
, 2014 Many population genetic models have been developed for the purpose of inferring population size and growth rates from random samples of genetic data. We examine two popular approaches to this problem, the coalescent and the birth-death-sampling model, in

Understanding past population dynamics: Bayesian coalescent-based modeling with covariates [PDF]
, 2016 Effective population size characterizes the genetic variability in a population and is a parameter of paramount importance in population genetics. Kingman's coalescent process enables inference of past population dynamics directly from molecular sequence

iMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 1, March 2026.This study integrates two decades of surveillance with genomic and structural analyses to decipher how spike protein glycosylation haplotypes drive avian coronavirus evolution. We uncover how specific glycosylation patterns associate with receptor‐binding affinity, shape global transmission dynamics, and correlate with clinical outcomes.
