Bayesian Coalescent Inference of Past Population Dynamics from Molecular Sequences
TL;DR: The Bayesian skyline plot is introduced, a new method for estimating past population dynamics through time from a sample of molecular sequences without dependence on a prespecified parametric model of demographic history, and a Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling procedure is described that efficiently samples a variant of the generalized skyline plot, given sequence data.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of human mobility and control measures on the COVID-19 epidemic in China.
Moritz U. G. Kraemer,Moritz U. G. Kraemer,Moritz U. G. Kraemer,Chia-Hung Yang,Bernardo Gutierrez,Bernardo Gutierrez,Chieh-Hsi Wu,Brennan Klein,David M. Pigott,Louis du Plessis,Nuno R.

TL;DR: Real-time mobility data from Wuhan and detailed case data including travel history are used to elucidate the role of case importation in transmission in cities across China and to ascertain the impact of control measures.
Journal ArticleDOI
A dynamic nomenclature proposal for SARS-CoV-2 lineages to assist genomic epidemiology.
Andrew Rambaut,Edward C. Holmes,Áine O'Toole,Verity Hill,John T. McCrone,Christopher Ruis,Louis du Plessis,Oliver G. Pybus +7 more
TL;DR: A rational and dynamic virus nomenclature that uses a phylogenetic framework to identify those lineages that contribute most to active spread and is designed to provide a real-time bird’s-eye view of the diversity of the hundreds of thousands of genome sequences collected worldwide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Origins and evolutionary genomics of the 2009 swine-origin H1N1 influenza A epidemic.
Gavin J. D. Smith,Dhanasekaran Vijaykrishna,Justin Bahl,Samantha Lycett,Michael Worobey,Oliver G. Pybus,Siu Kit Ma,CL Cheung,Jayna Raghwani,Samir Bhatt,J. S. Malik Peiris,Yi Guan,Andrew Rambaut +12 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the new swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) virus emerged in Mexico and the United States was derived from several viruses circulating in swine, and that the initial transmission to humans occurred several months before recognition of the outbreak.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Transmissibility is substantially higher than that of seasonal flu, and comparable with lower estimates of R0 obtained from previous influenza pandemics, by analyzing the outbreak in Mexico, early data on international spread, and viral genetic diversity, which makes an early assessment of transmissibility and severity.
