Prevalence and implications of multiple-strain infections.

The Lancet. Infectious diseases - 1 Nov 2011

Balmer Oliver, Tanner Marcel

Abstract excerpt

Infections frequently contain multiple strains (genotypes) of the same pathogen, yet they are still usually treated as uniform entities. In this Review, we discuss problems with inconsistent definition of the term "strain" and review the prevalence and implications of multiple-strain infections. Up to now, multiple-strain infections have been shown unambiguously in 51 human pathogens (and 21 non-human ones) and...
