Abstract SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) is a novel virus of
the family Coronaviridae. The virus causes the infectious disease COVID-19. The biology of …

Over the past decade, a new set of methods for estimating dated trees has emerged.
Originally referred to as the fossilized birth–death (FBD) process, this single model has …

We estimate the basic reproductive number and case counts for 15 distinct Severe acute
respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) outbreaks, distributed across 11 …

Birth–death stochastic processes are the foundations of many phylogenetic models and are
widely used to make inferences about epidemiological and macroevolutionary dynamics …

Viral phylogenies provide crucial information on the spread of infectious diseases, and many
studies fit mathematical models to phylogenetic data to estimate epidemiological parameters …

Several aspects of mosquito ecology that are important for vectored disease transmission
and control have been difficult to measure at epidemiologically important scales in the field …

Phylodynamic methods have been essential to understand the interplay between the
evolution and epidemiology of infectious diseases. To date, the field has centered on …
