It’s my pleasure to share our new preprint, which I had the opportunity to lead, and which has been in the making since 2022.

In this work, we used climate data, phylogeography, and antigenic profiling to uncover the dynamics of DENV spread in Colombia.

Genomic epidemiology of dengue virus 2 and 3 reveals repeated introductions and exportations of several lineages in Colombia.
Dengue fever, a major mosquito–borne viral disease, is transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes and poses a significant global health burden. Despite extensive research, the spatiotemporal dynamics of dengue v...

Equilibrium properties of a coupled contagion model of mosquito-borne disease and mosquito preventive behaviors
Although different strategies for mosquito-borne disease prevention can vary significantly in their efficacy and scale of implementation, they all require that individuals comply with their use. Despi...

Thanks Alex Perkins (not here) and notre dame for the awesome brutally cold week of writing models and models, thinking about how to undertand behavioral aspects on vector borne transmission (stay tuned!) and let me talk about the science we do at @uniandes.bsky.social

Happy to see this out!
What should the early lines of code written during a new outbreak look like? We've got a new viewpoint piece in Lancet Digital Health on how to improve early outbreak analytics, with a great group of contributors: linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii...
