Peste des petits ruminants virus causes a highly infectious disease of small ruminants that is
endemic across Africa, the Middle East and large regions of Asia. The virus is considered to …

In this review, we discuss the epidemiological dynamics of different viral infections to project
how the transition from a pandemic to endemic Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome …

The large virus family Paramyxoviridae includes some of the most significant human and
livestock viruses, such as measles-, distemper-, mumps-, parainfluenza-, Newcastle disease …

Measles, caused by measles virus (MeV), is a common infection in children. MeV is a
member of the genus Morbillivirus and is most closely related to rinderpest virus (RPV) …

Epidemiological processes leave a fingerprint in the pattern of genetic structure of virus
populations. Here, we provide a new method to infer epidemiological parameters directly …

California sea lions are one of the major marine mammal species along the Pacific coast of
North America. Sea lions are susceptible to a wide variety of viruses, some of which can be …

The spread of parasites is inherently a spatial process often embedded in physically
complex landscapes. It is therefore not surprising that infectious disease researchers are …

Canine distemper virus (CDV) is a worldwide distributed virus which belongs to the genus
Morbillivirus within the Paramyxoviridae family. CDV spreads through the lymphatic …

Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) constitutes one of the major hurdles to the improvement of
small-ruminant production in countries where it is endemic, directly affecting the poor, the …

Statistical methods for molecular dating of viral origins have been used extensively to infer
the time of most common recent ancestor for many rapidly evolving pathogens. However …
