Population genomics of <i>Bacillus anthracis</i> from an anthrax hyperendemic area reveals transmission processes across spatial scales and unexpected within-host diversity

2021-09-09

Abstract excerpt

Genomic sequencing has revolutionized our understanding of bacterial disease epidemiology, but remains underutilized for zoonotic pathogens in remote endemic settings. Anthrax, caused by the spore-forming bacterium Bacillus anthracis , remains a threat to human and animal health and rural livelihoods in low- and middle-income countries. While the global genomic diversity of B. anthracis has been well-characteriz...
