Historical overview and update on relapsing fever group Borrelia in Latin America

Alvaro A. Faccini-Martinez et al.

Summary: Relapsing fever group Borrelia (RFGB) are motile spirochetes transmitted to mammalian or avian hosts through the bite of hematophagous arthropods. They have a worldwide distribution and can infect humans and animals. However, these spirochetes and the diseases they cause are often neglected and understudied in some countries.

Koichiro Tamura et al.

Summary: MEGA software, a mature tool for computational molecular evolution, has been enhanced with new additions for building timetrees of species, pathogens, and gene families using rapid relaxed-clock methods. These additions include methods for estimating divergence times, confidence intervals, and new options for tagging sequences with spatiotemporal sampling information. The enhancements aim to improve user experience, result quality, and the pace of biological discovery.
