Journal ArticleDOI
High dispersal capacity of Culicoides obsoletus (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae), vector of bluetongue and Schmallenberg viruses, revealed by landscape genetic analyses
Antoine Mignotte,Claire Garros,Simon Dellicour,Simon Dellicour,Maude Jacquot,Maude Jacquot,Marius Gilbert,Laëtitia Gardes,Thomas Balenghien,Maxime Duhayon,Ignace Rakotoarivony,Maïa de Wavrechin,Karine Huber +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors aim to identify the environmental factors that promote or limit gene flow of Culicoides obsoletus, an abundant and widespread vector species in Europe, using an innovative framework integrating spatial, population genetics and statistical approaches.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present 203 SARS-CoV-2 whole genome sequences analyzed from strains circulating in the country from May 2020 to February 2021, and report a shift in variant distribution towards the newly emerging sub-lineage A.23.1 that is currently dominating.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rivers and landscape ecology of a plant virus, Rice yellow mottle virus along the Niger Valley
Souley Issaka,Oumar Traoré,Régis Dimitri Skopé Longué,Agnès Pinel-Galzi,Mandev S. Gill,Simon Dellicour,Simon Dellicour,Paul Bastide,Stéphane Guindon,Eugénie Hébrard,Marie-Jo Dugué,Yacouba Séré,Silla Semballa,Séverin Ake,Philippe Lemey,Denis Fargette +15 more
TL;DR: RYMV along the Niger River is an insightful example of how agricultural intensification favours pathogen emergence and spread and there was no evidence of long-distance dissemination of the virus through natural water.
Journal ArticleDOI
In Search of Covariates of HIV-1 Subtype B Spread in the United States-A Cautionary Tale of Large-Scale Bayesian Phylogeography.
Samuel L. Hong,Simon Dellicour,Bram Vrancken,Marc A. Suchard,Michael T. Pyne,David R. Hillyard,Philippe Lemey,Guy Baele +7 more
TL;DR: This work aims to identify the drivers of HIV-1 subtype B dispersal in the United States by analyzing a collection of 23,588 pol sequences, collected for drug resistance testing from 45 states during 2004–2011 and introduces a workflow to reduce this large collection of data to more computationally-manageable sample sizes.

TL;DR: It is found that despite a strong attenuation of international dispersal after border closures, localized cross-border transmission beforehand had already set the seeds for an international epidemic, rendering these measures relatively ineffective in curbing the epidemic.
