Stay up to date on the #H5N1 outbreak with Delphy’s daily-updated results 👉 delphy.fathom.info/us-h5n1-latest.

Uses Andersen Lab’s avian flu sequences (1944 as of Mar 22, 2025) and exact dates from GenBank.
Delphy assumes exponential growth—for now.
#OutbreakResponse 11/17

We’re now applying Delphy to the ongoing H5N1 outbreak in U.S. cattle. It captures key dynamics: 🐄 Initial spillover in TX (early 2024), 🌾 gradual spread across states, 🌄 localized CO outbreaks (spring–summer), 🌉 spread to CA (summer–fall).
#H5N1 #Phylogenetics #OutbreakResponse 10/17

By Feb 8, 2020, Delphy could've detected separate early SARS-CoV-2 introductions into Europe & N. America that exhibited onward transmission. Even as early as Feb 1, key outbreak parameters like mutation rate & tMRCA were already coming into focus.
