Host - Henrik Salje

I will provide an overview of Bayesian phylodynamic developments that have proven useful to investigate the evolutionary and epidemiological dynamics of SARS -CoV-2 and that could also support genomic surveillance of other respiratory viruses such as RSV . These approaches build on concepts of data integration, such as incorporating mobility and individual travel history in phylogeography, but pose challenges in terms of scalability. Finally, I will demonstrate how virus genomes from old samples may contribute to our understanding of historical epidemics, and that reconstructions of deep evolutionary histories require dedicated molecular clock models.
