Contact Heterogeneity and Phylodynamics: How Contact Networks Shape Parasite Evolutionary Trees

The inference of population dynamics from molecular sequence data is becoming an important new method for the surveillance of infectious diseases. Here, we examine how heterogeneity in contact shapes the genealogies of parasitic agents. Using extensive simulations, we find that contact heterogeneity...
