Genomic insights into local scale evolution of ocular <i>Chlamydia trachomatis</i> strains within and between individuals in Gambian trachoma-endemic villages

2023-12-11

Abstract excerpt

Trachoma, a neglected tropical disease caused by Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) serovar A-C, is the leading infectious cause of blindness worldwide. Its impact is substantial, with approximately 1.9 million individuals suffering from visual impairment. Africa bears the highest burden, accounting for over 86% of global trachoma cases.
