Viral phylodynamics is defined as the study of how epidemiological, immunological, and
evolutionary processes act and potentially interact to shape viral phylogenies. Since the …

Understanding the evolution of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is crucial for
reconstructing its origin, deciphering its interaction with the immune system and develo** …

Thirty years after the discovery of HIV-1, the early transmission, dissemination, and
establishment of the virus in human populations remain unclear. Using statistical …

In this fully revised and updated second edition of An Anthropology of Biomedicine, authors
Lock and Nguyen introduce biomedicine from an anthropological perspective, exploring the …

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) sequences that pre-date the recognition of
AIDS are critical to defining the time of origin and the timescale of virus evolution,. A viral …

Recent progress in the field of wildlife disease ecology demonstrates that infectious disease
plays a crucial role in the lives of wild animals. Parasites and pathogens should be …

In this study we date the introduction of HIV-2 into the human population and estimate the
epidemic history of HIV-2 subtype A in Guinea-Bissau, the putative geographic origin of HIV …

From HIV to influenza, the battle between infectious agents and the immune system is at the
heart of disease. Knowledge of how and why parasites vary to escape recognition by the …

Human and simian immunodeficiency viruses (HIV and SIV), influenza virus, and hepatitis C
virus (HCV) have heavily glycosylated, highly variable surface proteins. Here we explore N …

We present a formalism for unifying the inference of population size from genetic sequences
and mathematical models of infectious disease in populations. Virus phylogenies have been …
