Genome specialization and decay of the strangles pathogen, <i>Streptococcus equi</i> , is driven by persistent infection

2015-01-22

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Strangles, the most frequently diagnosed infectious disease of horses worldwide, is caused by Streptococcus equi . Despite its prevalence, the global diversity and mechanisms underlying the evolution of S. equi as a host-restricted pathogen remain poorly understood. Here we define the global population structure of this important pathogen and reveal a population replacement in the late 19 th...
