Apparent high recombination rates in clonal parasitic organisms due to inappropriate sampling design.

Abstract excerpt

Sampling design is of primary importance for empirical studies, in particular, population genetics. For parasitic organisms, a rather frequent way of sampling individuals from local populations is to collect and genotype only one randomly chosen parasite (or isolate) per host individual (or subpopulation), although each host (subpopulation) harbors a set of parasites belonging to the same species (that is, an...
