title: HIV-1 subtype C transmission network: the phylogenetic reconstruction strongly supports the epidemiological data.
abstract: The sequence and times of the transmission events was reported after a hospital accident by a phylodynamic reconstruction of transmission network among four subjects. The dated tree allowed to date the transmission events with good approximation, the time point and direction of each transmission, estimated on the basis of the phylogeny, and agreed with the presumptive time of infection on the basis of clinical history-taking.
