Journal Article
Hill, S. C., François, S., Thézé, J., Smith, A., Simmonds, P., Perrins, C., …Pybus, O. (in press). Impact of host age on viral and bacterial communities in a waterbird population. ISME Journal,

Wildlife harbour pathogens that can harm human or livestock health and are the source of most emerging infectious diseases. It is rarely considered how changes in wildlife population age-structures or how age-stratified behaviours might alter the lev...

Evolution and epidemic spread of SARS-CoV-2 in Brazil (2020)
Journal Article
Candido, D. S., Claro, I. M., de Jesus, J. G., Souza, W. M., Moreira, F. R. R., Dellicour, S., …Faria, N. (2020). Evolution and epidemic spread of SARS-CoV-2 in Brazil. Science, eabd2161. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.abd2161

Brazil currently has one of the fastest growing SARS-CoV-2 epidemics in the world. Owing to limited available data, assessments of the impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) on virus spread remain challenging. Using a mobility-driven trans...

The Evolution, Spread and Global Threat of H6Nx Avian Influenza Viruses
Journal Article
Everest, H., Hill, S., Daines, R., Sealy, J., James, J., Hansen, R., & Iqbal, M. (in press). The Evolution, Spread and Global Threat of H6Nx Avian Influenza Viruses. Viruses, 12(6), 673. https://doi.org/10.3390/v12060673

Avian influenza viruses of the subtype H6Nx are being detected globally with increasing frequency. Some H6Nx lineages are becoming enzootic in Asian poultry and sporadic incursions into European poultry are occurring more frequently. H6Nx viruses th...
