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

Most of all, I hope this work demonstrates the importance of applying phylodynamic and ecological frameworks to understudied viruses. We were able to learn so much about JCV maintenance and dispersal in the Northeastern US, with clear applications for vector surveillance and public health.
