This study traces the historical and phylogeographical spread of Rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV) in East Africa, linking its dispersal to rice cultivation, trade, and human activities.

This study evaluates dispersal metrics for viruses using simulation and compares their spread in animal populations, finding robustness to sampling effort and human-mediated dispersal signatures.

This paper introduces PIV models to estimate dispersal velocity of evolving lineages and shows improved accuracy in predicting pathogen spread using West Nile virus data.

This study uses deep-learning structural modeling and divergence dating to analyze RdRps from plant and fungal viruses, revealing a recent divergence of sobelivirads and suggesting cross-kingdom host shifts in their evolutionary history.
