Recent and Rapid Transmission of HIV among People who Inject Drugs in Scotland Revealed through Phylogenetic Analysis | The Journal of Infectious Diseases | Oxford Academic
OUP Academic 1042d 1 tweets
Harm reduction has dramatically reduced HIV incidence among people who inject drugs (PWID). In Glasgow, Scotland, <10 infections/year have been diagnosed among PWID since the mid-90s. However, in 2015 a sharp rise in diagnoses was noted among PWID:...

Bayesian phylodynamic inference with complex models
bioRxiv 1066d 2 tweets
Population genetic modeling can enhance Bayesian phylogenetic inference by providing a realistic prior on the distribution of branch lengths and times of common ancestry. The parameters of a population genetic model may also have intrinsic...
