Identification of geographically distributed sub-populations of Leishmania(Leishmania) majorby microsatellite analysis (2008)

Al-Jawabreh, Amer, Diezmann, Stephanie, Müller, Michaela, Wirth, Thierry, Schnur, Lionel F, Strelkova, Margarita V, ...

Abstract Background Leishmania ( Leishmania ) major , one of the agents causing cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in humans, is widely distributed in the Old World where different species of wild rodent...

Genetic diversity of the obligate intracellular bacterium Chlamydophila pneumoniaeby genome-wide analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms: evidence for highly clonal population structure (2007)

Rattei, Thomas, Ott, Stephan, Gutacker, Michaela, Rupp, Jan, Maass, Matthias, Schreiber, Stefan, ...

Abstract Background Chlamydophila pneumoniae is an obligate intracellular bacterium that replicates in a biphasic life cycle within eukaryotic host cells. Four published genomes revealed an identity...

Sex and virulence in Escherichia coli: an evolutionary perspective (2006)

Wirth, Thierry, Falush, Daniel, Lan, Ruiting, Colles, Frances, Mensa, Patience, Wieler, Lothar H., ...

Pathogenic Escherichia coli cause over 160 million cases of dysentery and one million deaths per year, whereas non-pathogenic E. coli constitute part of the normal intestinal flora of healthy mammals...

Microevolution and history of the plague bacillus, Yersinia pestis (2004)

Achtman,Mark, Morelli,Giovanna, Zhu,Peixuan X., Wirth,Thierry, Diehl,Ines, Kusecek,Barica, ...

The association of historical plague pandemics with Yersinia pestis remains controversial, partly because the evolutionary history of this largely monomorphic bacterium was unknown. The...

Distinguishing human ethnic groups by means of sequences from Heliclobacter pylori: Lessons from Ladakh (2004)

Wirth,Thierry, Wang,Xiaoyan, Linz,Bodo, Novick,Richard P., Lum,J. Koji, Blaser,Martin, ...

The history of mankind remains one of the most challenging fields of study. However, the emergence of anatomically modern humans has been so recent that only a few genetically informative...

Decline of North Atlantic eels: a fatal synergy? (2003)

Wirth,Thierry, Bernatchez,Louis

Panmictic species pose particular problems for conservation because their welfare can be addressed effectively only on a global scale. We recently documented by means of microsatellite analysis that...

Traces of human migrations in Helicobacter pylori populations (2003)

Falush,Daniel, Wirth,Thierry, Linz,Bodo, Pritchard,Jonathan K., Stephens,Matthew, Kidd,Mark, ...

Helicobacter pylori, a chronic gastric pathogen of human beings, can be divided into seven populations and subpopulations with distinct geographical distributions. These modern populations derive...

Clonal groupings in serogroup X Neisseria meningitis (2002)

Gagneux,Sébastien, Wirth,Thierry, Hodgson,Abraham, Ehrhard,Ingrid, Morelli,Giovanna, Kriz,Paula, ...

The genetic diversity of 134 serogroup X Neisseria meningitis isolates from Africa, Europe, and North America was analyzed by multilocus sequence typing and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. Although...

Prospective study of a serogroup X Neisseria meningitidis outbreak in northern Ghana (2002)

Gagneux,Sebastien P., Hodgson,Abraham, Smith,Tom A., Wirth,Thierry, Ehrhard,Ingrid, Morelli,Giovanna, ...

After an epidemic of serogroup A meningococcal meningitis in northern Ghana, a gradual disappearance of the epidemic strain was observed in a series of five 6-month carriage surveys of 37 randomly...

Microevolution and History of the Plague Bacillus, Yersinia pestis (1998)

Achtman, Mark, Morelli, Giovanna, Zhu, Peixuan, Wirth, Thierry, Diehl, Ines
