Evolutionary Studies Combined with Species Distribution Models are Useful to Understand COVID-19 Spread and Aid Vaccine Design
Author(s): Prakash Chandra Arya and Priyanka Bajaj*
Different opinions on the use of Species Distribution Models (SDMs) to understand COVID-19 spread resulted in
an ongoing debate in the scientific community. We agree SDMs alone cannot suffice the purpose of understanding
COVID-19 spread. However, evolutionary studies combined with SDMs can overcome these limitations and,
mutational insights gained can aid design of an ideal vaccine against SARS-CoV-2. .. View more»
