Real-time approach to the molecular epidemiology and evolutionary investigation and surveillance of acute viral epidemics. KU Leuven
Genomic analyses have revealed critical insights into the evolution and transmission of infectious agents in recent viral outbreaks, and offered tantalizing examples of the potential value of this approach to future outbreak control efforts. However, the scale and impact of new DNA technologies in these outbreaks has largely been stunted, due to the lack of a systematic and concerted effort. This proposal aims to overcome these challenges by ...
