    Abstract Pathogen genome sequencing has become a routine part of our response to active outbreaks of infectious disease and should be an important part of our preparations for future epidemics. In this Essay, we discuss the innovations that have enabled routine pathogen genome sequencing, as well as how genome sequences can be used to understand and control the spread of infectious disease. We also explore the impact of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic on the field of pathogen genomics and outline the challenges we must address to further improve the utility of pathogen genome sequencing in the future.

    Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) lineages of the Omicron variant rapidly became dominant in early 2022 and frequently cause human infections despite vaccination or prior infection with other variants. In addition to antibody-evading mutations in the receptor-binding domain, Omicron features amino acid mutations elsewhere in the Spike protein; however, their effects generally remain ill defined. The Spike D796Y substitution is present in all Omicron sub-variants and occurs at the same site as a mutation (D796H) selected during viral evolution in a chronically infected patient. Here, we map antibody reactivity to a linear epitope in the Spike protein overlapping position 796. We show that antibodies binding this region arise in pre-Omicron SARS-CoV-2 convalescent and vaccinated subjects but that both D796Y and D796H abrogate their binding. These results suggest that D796Y contributes to the fitness of Omicron in hosts with pre-existing immunity to other variants of SARS-CoV-2 by evading antibodies targeting this site.IMPORTANCESevere acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has evolved substantially through the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic: understanding the drivers and consequences of this evolution is essential for projecting the course of the pandemic and developing new countermeasures. Here, we study the immunological effects of a particular mutation present in the Spike protein of all Omicron strains and find that it prevents the efficient binding of a class of antibodies raised by pre-Omicron vaccination and infection. These findings reveal a novel consequence of a poorly understood Omicron mutation and shed light on the drivers and effects of SARS-CoV-2 evolution.

    Abstract Advances in genomics and computing are transforming the capacity for the characterization of biological systems, and researchers are now poised for a precision-focused transformation in the way they prepare for, and respond to, infectious diseases. This includes the use of genome-based approaches to inform molecular diagnosis and individual-level treatment regimens. In addition, advances in the speed and granularity of pathogen genome generation have improved the capability to track and understand pathogen transmission, leading to potential improvements in the design and implementation of population-level public health interventions. In this Perspective, we outline several trends that are driving the development of precision epidemiology of infectious disease and their implications for scientists' ability to respond to outbreaks.

    Abstract Current methods for detecting infections either require a sample collected from an actively infected site, are limited in the number of agents they can query, and/or yield no information on the immune response. Here we present an approach that uses temporally coordinated changes in highly-multiplexed antibody measurements from longitudinal blood samples to monitor infection events at sub-species resolution across the human virome. In a longitudinally-sampled cohort of South African adolescents representing >100 person-years, we identify >650 events across 48 virus species and observe strong epidemic effects, including high-incidence waves of Aichivirus A and the D68 subtype of Enterovirus D earlier than their widespread circulation was appreciated. In separate cohorts of adults who were sampled at higher frequency using self-collected dried blood spots, we show that such events temporally correlate with symptoms and transient inflammatory biomarker elevations, and observe the responding antibodies to persist for periods ranging from ≤1 week to >5 years. Our approach generates a rich view of viral/host dynamics, supporting novel studies in immunology and epidemiology.

    Abstract Snake fungal disease (SFD; ophidiomycosis), caused by the pathogen Ophidiomyces ophiodiicola (Oo), has been documented in wild snakes in North America and Eurasia, and is considered an emerging disease in the eastern United States of America. However, a lack of historical disease data has made it challenging to determine whether Oo is a recent arrival to the USA or whether SFD emergence is due to other factors. Here, we examined the genomes of 82 Oo strains to determine the pathogen's history in the eastern USA. Oo strains from the USA formed a clade (Clade II) distinct from European strains (Clade I), and molecular dating indicated that these clades diverged too recently (approximately 2,000 years ago) for transcontinental dispersal of Oo to have occurred via natural snake movements across Beringia. A lack of nonrecombinant intermediates between clonal lineages in Clade II indicates that Oo has actually been introduced multiple times to North America from an unsampled source population, and molecular dating indicates that several of these introductions occurred within the last few hundred years. Molecular dating also indicated that the most common Clade II clonal lineages have expanded recently in the USA, with time of most recent common ancestor mean estimates ranging from 1985 to 2007 CE. The presence of Clade II in captive snakes worldwide demonstrates a potential mechanism of introduction and highlights that additional incursions are likely unless action is taken to reduce the risk of pathogen translocation and spillover into wild snake populations.

    Abstract PepSIRF is a command-line, module-based open-source software package that facilitates the analysis of data from highly-multiplexed serology assays (e.g., PepSeq or PhIP-Seq). It has nine separate modules in its current release (v1.5.0): demux, info, subjoin, norm, bin, zscore, enrich, link, and deconv. These modules can be used together to conduct analyses ranging from demultiplexing raw high-throughput sequencing data to the identification of enriched peptides. QIIME 2 is an open-source, community-developed and plugin-based bioinformatics platform that focuses on data and analytical transparency. QIIME 2's features include integrated and automatic tracking of data provenance, a semantic type system, and built-in support for many types of user interfaces. Here, we describe three new QIIME 2 plugins that allow users to conduct PepSIRF analyses within the QIIME 2 environment and extend the core functionality of PepSIRF in two key ways: 1) enabling generation of interactive visualizations and 2) enabling automation of analysis pipelines that include multiple PepSIRF modules.
