Genomic variation and ancestry of <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> in the admixed population of Cabo Verde reveal host adaptation, limited host–pathogen ancestry concordance, and signatures of trans-Atlantic slave trade migrations
2026-06-05
Abstract excerpt
The genomic structure of the stomach-colonising, gastric cancer–associated bacterium Helicobacter pylori mirrors human evolutionary history, making it difficult to disentangle shared ancestry from true host–pathogen interactions driving disease risk. Recently admixed populations offer opportunities for new coevolutionary trajectories between H. pylori and its host that may disrupt parallel evolution. Here, we an...
