Role of evolution in emergence of infectious diseaaes

the article starts on the lower right corner of the first page.

It says that if the "R0" (average number of secondary infections arising from one infected individual) ,exceeds one, it is an epidemic waiting to happen.

There is an interesting chart on the second page, showing how infections caused by the evolved strain can go on to become an epidemic.

Is there enough information available to the public to determine if the "limited human transmission" cases have shown evolution?
