This study uses phylogeographic and phylodynamic methods to analyze DENV genome data, revealing asymmetric global spread patterns and the role of travel over climate in DENV transmission.

The paper identifies multiple CDV spillover events into Neotropical primates in Brazil and identifies residue 519 of the hemagglutinin protein as a candidate marker of adaptation to primates.

The paper presents tools to harmonize viral genomic data across repositories and mask lab-specific artifacts, improving phylogenetic analysis accuracy.

This study identifies a new DENV2 lineage replacement in Brazil using portable genomic surveillance, detecting its introduction from the Caribbean in 2014.

This paper describes a method to sequence Zika and other virus genomes directly from clinical samples using multiplex PCR and portable sequencing technologies, achieving complete genomes in 1-2 days.

The paper uses ZIKV genomes to estimate the origin and spread of Zika virus in Brazil and the Americas, providing a timeframe for baseline microcephaly rates.
