Explaining the geographic spread of emerging epidemics: a framework for comparing viral phylogenies and environmental landscape data
11 Feb 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Phylogenetic analysis is now an important tool in the study of viral outbreaks. It can reconstruct epidemic history when surveillance epidemiology data are sparse, and can indicate transmission linkages among infections that may not otherwise be evident. However, a remaining challenge is to develop an analytical framework that can test hypotheses about the effect of environmental variables on pathogen...
