Main determinants of human influenza phylodynamics
, 2010 As stated in [1], three main mechanisms have been proposed to explain the particular phylodynamic patterns observed in human influenza viruses: - a short-lived full cross-immunity among viral strains [2], - a punctuated evolution of the hemagglutinin (HA)

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023 When studying the dynamics of a pathogen in a host population, one crucial question is whether it transitioned from an epidemic (i.e., the pathogen population and the number of infected hosts are increasing) to an endemic stable state (i.e., the pathogen

An efficient Bayesian inference framework for coalescent-based nonparametric phylodynamics [PDF]
, 2015 MotivationThe field of phylodynamics focuses on the problem of reconstructing population size dynamics over time using current genetic samples taken from the population of interest. This technique has been extensively used in many areas of biology but is

A69 Phylodynamics of language evolution [PDF]
Virus Evolution, 2019 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.

Phylodynamics of SARS-CoV-2 in France, Europe, and the world in 2020
eLife, 2023 Although France was one of the most affected European countries by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the dynamics of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) movement within France, but also involving France in Europe and in the world ...

Phylodynamics of the Brazilian feline immunodeficiency virus
Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2017 Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), like other retroviruses, displays large genomic divergence when different isolates are compared. In this study, 31 FIV positive samples of domestic cats from Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil were used aiming at a detailed genomic characterization and a better understanding of the molecular epidemiology of the virus in ...

Phylodynamic approaches to studying avian influenza virus
Avian Pathology, 2023 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 ...

Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 58, Issue 5, Page 1269-1282, September 2026.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
