Havens J, Kosakovsky Pond S, Zehr J, Pekar J, Parker E, Worobey M, et al.
bioRxiv . 2025 Mar; PMID: 40060453
Using a phylogenetic framework to characterize natural selection, we investigate the hypothesis that zoonotic viruses require adaptation prior to zoonosis to sustain human-to-human transmission. Examining the zoonotic emergence of Ebola...

Virus Evol . 2025 Mar; 11(1):veaf008. PMID: 40040925
Understanding the genomic diversity of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) at the outset of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic can provide insight into the circumstances leading to its...

Peacock T, Moncla L, Dudas G, VanInsberghe D, Sukhova K, Lloyd-Smith J, et al.
Nature . 2024 Sep; 637(8045):304-313. PMID: 39317240
Influenza A viruses have caused more documented global pandemics in human history than any other pathogen. High pathogenicity avian influenza viruses belonging to the H5N1 subtype are a leading pandemic...

Cell . 2024 Sep; 187(19):5468-5482.e11. PMID: 39303692
Zoonotic spillovers of viruses have occurred through the animal trade worldwide. The start of the COVID-19 pandemic was traced epidemiologically to the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market. Here, we analyze environmental...

Cell . 2024 Aug; 187(17):4546-4548. PMID: 39111311
H5N1 is an avian influenza virus that causes respiratory disease in birds and several land and sea mammals. The recent outbreak in the United States, including infection of dairy workers,...
