Combined high-resolution genotyping and geospatial analysis reveals modes of endemic urban typhoid fever transmission

Combined high-resolution genotyping and geospatial analysis reveals modes of endemic urban typhoid fever transmission

Typhoid is a systemic infection caused by Salmonella Typhi and Salmonella Paratyphi A, human-restricted bacteria that are transmitted faeco-orally. Salmonella Typhi and S. Paratyphi A are clonal, and their limited genetic diversity has precluded the identification of long-term transmission networks...
