Simple epidemiological dynamics explain phylogenetic clustering of HIV from patients with recent infection
Phylogenies of highly genetically variable viruses such as HIV-1 are potentially informative
of epidemiological dynamics. Several studies have demonstrated the presence of clusters of …

[HTML][HTML] Agent-based and phylogenetic analyses reveal how HIV-1 moves between risk groups: injecting drug users sustain the heterosexual epidemic in Latvia
F Graw, T Leitner, RM Ribeiro - Epidemics, 2012 - Elsevier
Injecting drug users (IDUs) are a driving force for the spread of HIV-1 in Latvia and other
