A dimensionless number for understanding the evolutionary dynamics of antigenically variable RNA viruses.
(Proc Biol Sci, 2011-12-22)Antigenically variable RNA viruses are significant contributors to the burden of infectious disease worldwide. One reason for their ubiquity is their ability to escape herd immunity through rapid antigenic evolution and ... -
Inference for nonlinear epidemiological models using genealogies and time series.
(PLoS Comput Biol, 2011-08)Phylodynamics - the field aiming to quantitatively integrate the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of rapidly evolving populations like those of RNA viruses - increasingly relies upon coalescent approaches to infer past ... -
Phylodynamic inference and model assessment with approximate bayesian computation: influenza as a case study.
(PLoS Comput Biol, 2012)A key priority in infectious disease research is to understand the ecological and evolutionary drivers of viral diseases from data on disease incidence as well as viral genetic and antigenic variation. We propose using a ...
