Integrated Genomic and Epidemiological Surveillance to Monitor SARS‐CoV‐2 Variants in Italy: Insights From the JN.1 Case Study (2023–2024)

open access: yesJournal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The epidemiology of SARS‐CoV‐2 is marked by the continuous emergence of new lineages. Early detection and assessment of their transmissibility can be challenging for surveillance systems that rely solely on case time series data. Genomic surveillance, focusing on identifying and characterizing circulating variants, can provide early insights ...

Genomic epidemiology sheds light on the emergence and spread of Mycobacterium bovis Eu2 Clonal Complex in Portugal

open access: yesEmerging Microbes and Infections, 2023
Animal tuberculosis (TB) remains a serious concern for animal and human health. Mycobacterium bovis circulates in multi-host systems, dominated by the European 2 clonal complex (Eu2) in Iberia.

Prevalence and Heterogeneity of Swine Influenza Virus in China From 2010 to 2025: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Swine influenza virus (SIV) is endemic in China, threatening the swine industry and public health. This meta‐analysis estimated the national pooled prevalence of SIV (2010–2025) and identified key sources of heterogeneity. Methods Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, six databases ...

Phylodynamics of viral infections

open access: yes, 2017
Phylodynamics is a recent field that aims at using genetic sequence data to estimate epidemiological parameters such as the viral population growth rate, the number of infections in the population or even their duration. Its main underlying assumption is that the way viruses spread leaves marks in their genome.

Phylodynamics and movement of Phycodnaviruses among aquatic environments [PDF]

open access: yesThe 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 ...

Rapid Spread of Novel Infectious Bursal Disease Virus Variant (Genotype A2dB1b) in the Near East and Persian Gulf Regions: Molecular Surveillance and Phylodynamic Reconstruction

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) is one of the most impactful pathogens of poultry, with disease manifestations ranging from acute forms to subclinical but immunosuppressive infections. This heterogeneity, accompanied by a significant antigenic variability, is sustained by high mutation rates and frequent reassortments between the two genome ...

Molecular characterization of the meq oncogene of Marek’s disease virus in vaccinated Brazilian poultry farms reveals selective pressure on prevalent strains

open access: yesVeterinary Quarterly
Marek’s disease virus (MDV) has become an increasingly virulent pathogen in the poultry industry despite vaccination efforts to control it. Brazil has experienced a significant rise of Marek’s disease (MD) outbreaks in recent years.

VirPhyKit: An Integrated Toolkit for Viral Phylogeographic Analysis

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
A new toolkit for phylogeographic analysis called VirPhyKit is developed. The toolkit integrates 12 specialized modules within an intuitive point‐and‐click interface, streamlining key tasks such as sequence curation, spatiotemporal subsampling, migration pattern analysis, and molecular dating. ABSTRACT The evolutionary, demographic, and phylogeographic

Intra- and inter-host origin, evolution dynamics and spatial-temporal transmission characteristics of circoviruses

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology
IntroductionSince their identification in 1974, circoviruses have caused clinicopathological diseases in various animal species, including humans. However, their origin, transmission, and genetic evolution remain poorly understood.MethodsIn this study ...

Evolutionary Analysis of a Parrot Bornavirus 2 Detected in a Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo (Cacatua galerita) Suggests a South American Ancestor

open access: yesAnimals, 2023
Parrot bornavirus (PaBV) is an RNA virus that causes Proventricular Dilatation Disease (PDD), neurological disorders, and death in Psittaciformes. Its diversity in South America is poorly known. We examined a Cacatua galerita presenting neuropathies, PDD,
