Ten years after the release of version 1.0, we are happy to announce version 2.0 of the toolbox “seraphim”, our R package for studying phylogenetically informed movements in molecular epidemiology studies - 1/4

Our latest study dedicated to the massive 2024-2025 chikungunya virus outbreak on Réunion island is now available as a preprint on medRxiv: doi.org/10.64898/202.... With more than 54,000 confirmed cases this is the second major chikungunya outbreak on the island, following the 1° one 20 yrs ago. 1/9

This is my first first-author paper, advised by @nathangrubaugh.bsky.social, Phil Armstrong, @viralverity.bsky.social, @chantalvogels.bsky.social and Alex Ciota! Such a collaborative effort with mosquito surveillance orgs and phylodynamic researchers (@sdellicour.bsky.social, @lemeylab.bsky.social)

Our study on the development and comparative performance of novel landscape phylogeography approaches has now been published in @pnas.org: lnkd.in/d5yuYwk6. A study led at the @ulbruxelles.bsky.social and @kuleuvenuniversity.bsky.social, and mainly conducted with the support of the F.R.S.-FNRS

🦠 New paper out in Communications Medicine! 🌍🔬 We tracked the global spread and introductions of SARS-CoV-2 variants Alpha, Delta, and Omicron BA.1 into Spain. Great collaboration with @lemeylab.bsky.social @guybaele.bsky.social @msuchard.bsky.social and others 📖 rdcu.be/eoG7x

Comparative phylogeography and recombination patterns of SARS CoV-1 and SARS CoV-2 related viruses. Both are derived from recent recombinations in their host bats, and then emerged in human hundreds of miles from their wild reservoirs. www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Great pleasure to work with @esthervk.bsky.social and many MOOD collaborators! Mentioning the ones on bsky: @sdellicour.bsky.social @lauradidomenico.bsky.social @mariusgilbert.bsky.social @eonore.bsky.social @mugkraemer.bsky.social @lemeylab.bsky.social @annap2025.bsky.social @vcolizza.bsky.social
