Interpreting pathogen genetic diversity during measles epidemics

2020-01-31

Abstract excerpt

While measles remains endemic in parts of the world, efforts to eliminate measles transmission continue, and viral sequence data may shed light on progress towards these goals. Genetic diversity has been used as a proxy for disease prevalence; however, seasonally-driven disease dynamics are typically characterized by deep population bottlenecks between epidemics, which severely disrupt the genetic signal. Here, we...
