Evolutionary biology is applied in medicine all the time.

Lol do you read the article, it's still on early stage. The evolution theory it's one of many way to learn the virus, but it's still not a practical until now, not until the research are done. And dont forget it's one of many way from many choices. 

That's not what the article says.

What the article says is that a great deal of modern medical research is based on the theory of evolution by natural selection.  Evolutionary science has helped develop tests for genetic diseases, models to predict flu strains, and so on.

What the article says is in the early stage is the direct teaching of evolution.  Even if the findings are not directly taught, that doesn't mean the ideas are not applicable.  The tests and procedures that doctors do is the application of the theory.  Whether or not doctors know that the flu vaccine they're giving is based on evolutionary models does not change the fact that they are applying the findings of evolution.
