Abstract excerpt

The population structure of Neisseria meningitidis is supposedly epidemic according to. The model predicts that linkage disequilibrium in N. meningitidis populations is only temporary and arises due to the outgrowth of highly successful clonal genotypes from an essentially sexual population. These clones should disappear after a few years because of frequent recombination. In contrast, multilocus enzyme...
