Evolutionary insights into the emergence of virulent <i>Leptospira</i> spirochetes

2024-04-02

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Pathogenic Leptospira are spirochete bacteria which cause leptospirosis, a re-emerging zoonotic disease of global importance. Here, we use a recently described lineage of environmental-adapted leptospires, which are evolutionarily the closest relatives of the highly virulent Leptospira species, to explore the key phenotypic traits and genetic determinants of Leptospira virulence. Through a co...
