New preprint: Optimal disease surveillance with graph-based Active Learning
DPhil student @JoeTLH led a study on how to sample on networks for tracking infectious diseases with limited testing budgets.

📄🧬 New study from Oxford researchers shows 'red list' travel restrictions couldn't halt Omicron's growth in the UK.
Dr. Moritz Kraemer (@MOUGK) emphasises the importance of genomic surveillance in pandemic preparedness.

#COVID19 Pandemic researchers from @UniofOxford traced the Omicron variant finding:
✈️Its earliest importation to UK was likely before the variant was even identified
🦠400 chains responsible for ~80% of infections arrived before travel restrictions began
oxfordmartin.ox.ac.uk/news/c…
Excited to see our paper now online science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…! By integrating a dataset of ~116,000 Omicron genomic sequences with epi and human mobility data, we investigate the invasion dynamics of Omicron BA.1 into England and its local dissemination at multiple spatial scales.
This work, together with previous studies of the Alpha & Delta wave in the UK, provides a unique opportunity for future studies to better understand drivers that shaped their different transmissions patterns and to gain insights for designing more nuanced targeted interventions.
This is a hugely collaborative effort by researchers from many institutions across the world. Massive thanks for the contribution from all collaborators, and especially @SCauchemez , @jnaraghwani, @suchard_group, @LemeyLab, @arambaut, @EvolveDotZoo, and @MOUGK for their guidance.

Our recent publication describing the viral dynamics in the last four waves. Work from @vijay_lab @world_epidemic @HKU_SPH
Wave 2 = Mar-Apr 2020
Wave 3 = July-Sept 2020
Wave 4 = Nov 2020-Mar 2021
How long would this one？Wave 5 = Jan 2022- ？？

Finally out.@nature - Peer reviewed manuscript that describes the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2. Amazing team effort that inverts the way in with science is done! First public health response and only after publication! nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
