Seasonal dynamics of the wild rodent faecal virome (2022)
Journal Article
Raghwani, J., Faust, C. L., François, S., Nguyen, D., Marsh, K., Raulo, A., …Pybus, O. G. (2023). Seasonal dynamics of the wild rodent faecal virome. Molecular Ecology, https://doi.org/10.1111/mec.16778

Viral discovery studies in wild animals often rely on cross-sectional surveys at a single time point. As a result, our understanding of the temporal stability of wild animal viromes remains poorly resolved. While studies of single host-virus systems...

Impact of host age on viral and bacterial communities in a waterbird population (2022)
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...

Genomic Surveillance of Yellow Fever Virus Epizootic in São Paulo, Brazil, 2016 – 2018 (2020)
Journal Article
Lauring, A. S., Hill, S. C., de Souza, R., Thézé, J., Claro, I., Aguiar, R. S., …Faria, N. R. (2020). Genomic Surveillance of Yellow Fever Virus Epizootic in São Paulo, Brazil, 2016 – 2018. PLoS Pathogens, 16(8), e1008699. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1008699

São Paulo, a densely inhabited state in southeast Brazil that contains the fourth most populated city in the world, recently experienced its largest yellow fever virus (YFV) outbreak in decades. YFV does not normally circulate extensively in São Paul... Read More about Genomic Surveillance of Yellow Fever Virus Epizootic in São Paulo, Brazil, 2016 – 2018.

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...

Genomic and epidemiological monitoring of yellow fever virus transmission potential (2018)
Journal Article
Faria, N. R., Kraemer, M. U. G., Hill, S. C., Goes de Jesus, J., Aguiar, R. S., Iani, F. C. M., …Pybus, O. G. (2018). Genomic and epidemiological monitoring of yellow fever virus transmission potential. Science, 361(6405), 894-899. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.aat7115

The yellow fever virus (YFV) epidemic in Brazil is the largest in decades. The recent discovery of YFV in Brazilian Aedes species mosquitos highlights a need to monitor the risk of reestablishment of urban YFV transmission in the Americas. We use a s...
