Abstract

When epidemiological and evolutionary dynamics occur on similar timescales, pathogen genomes sampled from infected hosts carry a signature of the dynamics of epidemic spread. Phylodynamic inference methods aim to extract this signature from genetic data. We discuss the contribution of phylodynamics toward understanding the 2014 West African Ebola virus epidemic.
