Abstract Background Despite the demonstration that geminiviruses, like many other single stranded DNA viruses, are evolving at rates similar to those of RNA viruses, a recent study has suggested that...
Models of coding sequence evolution (2009)
Delport, Wayne, Scheffler, Konrad, Seoighe, Cathal
Probabilistic models of sequence evolution are in widespread use in phylogenetics and molecular sequence evolution. These models have become increasingly sophisticated and combined with statistical...
Population Growth Confounds Phylogeographic Inference in Namaqua Sandgrouse (2007)
Delport, Wayne, Crowe, Timothy M., Lloyd, Penn, Bloomer, Paulette
The Namaqua sandgrouse, Pterocles namaqua, is a highly nomadic granivore of semiarid to arid habitats. As a result of nomadic movements in response to rainfall, the size of the breeding population in...

The African Wild Silk moths (Gonometa spp., Lasiocampidae) are species that are presently of particular economic interest in southern Africa. Both Gonometa postica and G. rufobrunnea, two species of...
Investigating the origin and spread of hepatitis C virus genotype 5a (2006)
Pybus, Oliver G, Song, Ernie, ...
Epidemiological and phylogenetic studies of hepatitis C virus (HCV) have identified six major HCV genotypes and have attempted to characterize their origin and spread worldwide. Putative regions of...

A Population Genetics Pedigree Perspective on the Transmission of Helicobacter pylori
Delport, Wayne, Cunningham, Michael, Olivier, Brenda, Preisig, Oliver, Van Der Merwe, Schalk W.
The inference of transmission pathways for medicinally important bacteria is important to our understanding of pathogens. Here we report analyses of transmission in Helicobacter pylori, a major...
Frequent Toggling between Alternative Amino Acids Is Driven by Selection in HIV-1
Delport, Wayne, Scheffler, Konrad, Seoighe, Cathal
Host immune responses against infectious pathogens exert strong selective pressures favouring the emergence of escape mutations that prevent immune recognition. Escape mutations within or flanking...
