In Search of Covariates of HIV-1 Subtype B Spread in the United States—A Cautionary Tale of Large-Scale Bayesian Phylogeography

Viruses, 2020
Infections with HIV-1 group M subtype B viruses account for the majority of the HIV epidemic in the Western world. Phylogeographic studies have placed the introduction of subtype B in the United States in New York around 1970, where it grew into a major ...

A Narrative Review on the Recent Insights Into the Pathogenicity and Potential Role of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS‐CoV) in the Emergence of “Disease X”

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Following the end of the COVID‐19 global emergency, concern has shifted to “Disease X,” a hypothetical, highly transmissible, and deadly pathogen, and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS‐CoV) is a prime candidate for this. This review explores its epidemiology, mutations, transmission, and potential to become

South‐to‐Southeast Expansion of HIV‐1 Subtype C in Brazil

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 97, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT HIV‐1 group M subtype C (HIV‐1C) is the predominant genetic variant in southern Brazil but has been sparsely detected in other regions of the country. Our study aimed to identify HIV‐1C transmission links across Brazil using phylogenetic reconstruction and to infer trends in geographical patterns and dissemination beyond the southern region ...

Model diagnostics and refinement for phylodynamic models

PLOS Computational Biology, 2019
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,

Fighting Antibiotic Resistance: Insights Into Human Barriers and New Opportunities

BioEssays, Volume 47, Issue 6, June 2025.
Antibiotic resistance is a public health issue leading to the emergence of multi‐resistant bacteria. Human‐dependent factors are now driving the increase of resistance, notably through antibiotic misuse in human and animal health and environmental pollution.

Dispersal of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Driven by Historical European Trade in the South Pacific

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a globally distributed bacterial pathogen whose population structure has largely been shaped by the activities of its obligate human host.

Mitogenomes of museum specimens provide new insight into species classification and recently reduced diversity of highly endangered Nomascus gibbons

Integrative Zoology, Volume 20, Issue 3, Page 674-684, May 2025.
Our findings reveal that the western black crested gibbon (Nomascus concolor) did not divide into different subspecies, and the relatively low level of genetic diversity emphasizes the importance of monitoring this indicator for vulnerable wildlife.

Exploring Evolutionary and Transmission Dynamics of HIV Epidemic in Serbia: Bridging Socio-Demographic With Phylogenetic Approach

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Previous molecular studies of Serbian HIV epidemic identified the dominance of subtype B and presence of clusters related HIV-1 transmission, in particular among men who have sex with men (MSM).

Tracking Seasonal Influenza Trends in South Tyrol During 2022/2023 Using Genomic Surveillance Data

Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses, Volume 19, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Influenza seasons are characterized by a complex interplay of co‐circulating strains with high spatial and temporal heterogeneities. Surveillance is crucial for monitoring the spread and evolution of the virus and design effective public health response strategies.
