Added this to my reading list!
Your paper on Flavis sparked in me an interest for structural phylogenetics, thank you for sharing Jon!

Antigenic mapping showed dominant lineages occupy distinct antigenic clusters with substitutions at neutralizing epitopes.
These shifts likely enabled escape from homotypic immunity, with implications for population susceptibility to secondary infection.

For DENV-2II_F.1.1.2 (introduced from SE Asia), we found ≥5 independent introductions into Colombia since 2020.
Markov jump analyses confirm that Colombia acts as a bridging node for viral exchange between South & North America — acting as both source and sink in the continental network.

DENV-2III_D.2 circulated undetected in Colombia for a decade before resurging in 2021.
Phylogeography shows repeated exports to the Caribbean, Ecuador, and Venezuela, often years before detection.
This underlines how asymptomatic/under-sampled infections can reshape regional epidemics.

Colombia reported an unprecedented 321,907 dengue cases in 2024.
Our data show:
• Successive lineage replacements (DENV-2III_D.2 → DENV-2II_F.1.1.2)
• Resurgence of DENV-3III_C.2 after years of absence.
• Climatic anomalies from El Niño boosted Aedes vector suitability, driving transmission peaks.

How do you like it?
I’m not too much into single player games (I enjoy making people feel bad on multiplayers).
But I’ve heard good things about HZD.
