ABSTRACT West Nile virus (WNV) is a flavivirus whose cycle involves mosquitoes and avian hosts that occasionally may infect horses and humans as “dead‐end hosts.” Human infection is mostly asymptomatic, sometimes leading to febrile or neuroinvasive disease.

Introduction of Phylodynamics for Controlling the HIV/AIDS Epidemic in Korea [PDF]
As over 1000 new cases of HIV/AIDS occur in Korea annually, preventive health programs against HIV/AIDS are urgently needed. Since phylodynamic studies have been suggested as a way to understand how infectious diseases are transmitted and evolve ...

ABSTRACT Human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) is the leading cause of acute lower respiratory tract infections in infants and represents a major burden to public health systems worldwide. Despite its epidemiological relevance, genomic surveillance of HRSV in Brazil remains limited.

Model diagnostics and refinement for phylodynamic models
Phylodynamic modelling, which studies the joint dynamics of epidemiological and evolutionary processes, has made significant progress in recent years due to increasingly available genomic data and advances in statistical modelling. These advances have greatly improved our understanding of transmission dynamics of many important pathogens. Nevertheless,

RSV Molecular Epidemiology Pre‐ and Post‐COVID‐19 Pandemic Periods in Seattle, Washington, USA
ABSTRACT Background Globally, RSV declined to historically low levels following stay‐at‐home orders in 2020 and re‐emerged as restrictions lifted, with large inter‐seasonal outbreaks and other shifts in epidemiology. The effect of the pandemic restrictions on genomic diversity has not been well studied.

Phylodynamics of viral infections
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.

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 ...

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 ...
