The paper shows that incorporating occurrence data with birth-death models improves estimates of the basic reproductive number in phylodynamic analyses, while coalescent models are less affected by sampling biases but cannot use occurrence data.

This study compares viromes of urban and rural red foxes, finding differences in viral abundance and diversity, and identifies novel viruses with potential zoonotic relevance.

The paper uses meta-transcriptomics to analyze virome composition in marine fish, identifying new viruses and factors shaping virome diversity.

This paper shows that Myxoma virus in Australia experienced a sudden evolutionary change with a faster mutation rate and disrupted clock-like evolution between 1996 and 2012, likely due to environmental changes affecting rabbit populations.
