Editing Phylogeography (section)

==In viruses==
Viruses are informative in understanding the dynamics of evolutionary change due to their rapid mutation rate and fast generation time.<ref name="Holmes">{{cite journal |author=Holmes, E.

A phylogeographic approach has been taken for many diseases that threaten human health, including [[dengue fever]], [[rabies]], [[influenza]] and [[HIV]].<ref name="Holmes" /> Similarly, a phylogeographic approach will likely play a key role in understanding the vectors and spread of [[avian influenza]] ([[HPAI H5N1]]), demonstrating the relevance of phylogeography to the general public.
