#abstract submission is now open for the 32nd International #dynamics & #evolution of human #viruses conference in #Royaumont near #Paris
https://dynamicsevolution.org/event/5/
The main themes will be #genomics, #bioinformatics, #zoonoses, #clusters, #phylodynamics, #phylogeography,
#WithinHost #dynamics, #adaptation,
#vaccines, and #ImmuneEscape
#Phylodynamics of Avian #Influenza A(#H5N1) Viruses from #Outbreaks in #Brazil, Virus Res.: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38880334/
Our study identified strains of the A/H5N1 virus in analyzed samples of subsistence #poultry, wild #birds, and #mammals, belonging to clade 2.3.4.4b,
#genotype #B32, with very high genetic similarity to strains from #Chile, #Uruguay, and #Argentina. This suggests a migratory route for wild birds across the Pacific, explaining the phylogenetic relatedness...
#PSL University is launching a new Advanced Biology Course (#ABC) in #Epidemiology for PhD and MSc students.
The first year will begin on Sept 11, 2024 and focus on #phylodynamics.

Our #COVID19 #phylodynamics #COVFlow #pipeline to generate #Beast scripts from #GISAID data is now published in @PeerCommunityJournal following recommendation by PCI Genomics.
Thanks to Gonché Danesh for her great work!

We reconstructed the recent transmission history of #YellowFeverVirus in #Brazil. A suitability index was able to capture the seasonality of #zoonotic cases. Spatial modeling revealed hotspots with both past reporting and low #vaccination coverage, coinciding with the largest urban centers in the Southeast. #Phylodynamics identified 3 lineages & provided proof of the directionality of a spatial corridor connecting the endemic North with the extra-Amazonian basin.
The @CNRS@twitter.com #PHYLODYN GDR organises a meeting on #phylodynamics and #epidemiology in Lyon (France) from July 3 to 5🧬🦠
Attendance is free. Registration and abstracts can be submitted by Jun 16.

The French #phylodynamics #GDR is organising a meeting in Lyon from July 3 to 5.
Attendance is free but registration mandatory.
Don't hesitate to submit abstracts!
Bayesian #phylodynamics reveals the #transmission dynamics of #avian #influenza A(#H7N9) virus at the #human–live bird #market interface in #China, https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2215610120
Infectious disease forecasting is vital for epidemic and pandemic preparedness – but current models leave something to be desired. Could incorporating genetics, genomics, and phylodynamics close the accuracy gap?

Through a combination of phy and epi models we reconstructed the recent transmission of #yellowfever virus in #Brazil.
#Modelling revealed spatial hotspots with both past reporting and low vaccination coverage, which coincided with the largest Southeast urban centres.
#Phylodynamics unravelled three distinct #YFV lineages, and provided proof of the directionality of a known spatial corridor of spread that connects the endemic North with the extra-Amazonian basin.

Then Anna Zhukova from @institutpasteur@twitter.com will present her #phylodynamics work on "Epidemiological parameter estimation for large-scale pathogen sequence datasets"
