microbial evolution

How Do Epidemiologists Track Microbial Evolution?

Epidemiologists use several methods to study microbial evolution:
Genomic sequencing: Analyzing the DNA of microbes to identify genetic changes.
Phylogenetic analysis: Constructing evolutionary trees to trace the origins and spread of microbial strains.
Mathematical modeling: Predicting how microbial populations might evolve under different conditions.
Surveillance: Monitoring changes in microbial populations in real time through health data collection.
