Have you heard of Jamestown Canyon virus? New work by @ebourgikos.bsky.social and @nathangrubaugh.bsky.social lab + friends explains the natural history of one of the rarest diseases in the United States, including a puzzlingly-slow evolutionary rate: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Incredibly excited to see our work on Jamestown Canyon virus published in Current Biology!! I have grown with and loved this project for 3 years and couldn’t be prouder of the final paper 🩵🧬 Read it here to see how phylodynamics reveals JCV's complex life cycle! www.cell.com/current-biol...

Incredible work by Jonathan Pekar et al.: The emergence and molecular evolution of H5N1 influenza viruses in United States dairy cattle www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

🦟📄 New preprint! Our first large-scale phylodynamic study of Jamestown Canyon virus (JCV) reveals how mosquito ecology shapes the evolution, persistence, and spread of this understudied arbovirus in North America. Read it here! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
