Reconstructing contact network structure andcross-immunity patterns from multiple infection histories

This paper develops a method to infer contact networks and cross-immunity patterns from longitudinal infection data using infection barcodes and simulations.

Quantifying transmission dynamics of acute hepatitis C virus infections in a heterogeneous population using sequence data

The paper estimates key epidemiological parameters of an HCV epidemic among MSMs in Lyon using phylodynamics and ABC, finding a faster doubling time compared to classical epidemics.

Treating symptomatic infections and the co-evolution of virulence and drug resistance

This study uses mathematical models to show how treatment timing and virulence affect the evolution of drug resistance and infection severity.

Modelling the evolution of viral oncogenesis

This study models how viral oncogenesis evolves by analyzing the trade-offs between oncogenic benefits and epidemiological costs in DNA oncoviruses.

Coevolution of virulence and immunosuppression in multiple infections

This study shows immunosuppression in parasites can both enhance and hinder virulence evolution through multiple infections, depending on host mortality and trade-off shapes.

Can Ebola Virus evolve to be less virulent in humans?

This study uses an epidemiological model to show that Ebola Virus (EBOV) virulence is driven by its life cycle, not maladaptation, and that burial practices can reduce its spread and select for less virulent strains.
