“…Moreover, the 4 most common STs in humans have also been identified in other hosts, the most frequent of which were other primates, but they have also been found in numerous hoofed mammals, rodents and birds [13,19]. On the contrary, the rarer subtypes in humans (STs 5-8) were also more commonly discovered in other hosts: ST5 is common in livestock, apes, and old world monkeys, but rare in humans [3,9,18], while ST6 and ST7 are mostly found in birds, and ST6 has also been described in livestock and humans, while ST7 has also been found in humans [3,[20][21][22]. ST8 has been recognized in marsupials, different species of captive primates, their caregivers, and in pheasant [18,19,22], and ST9 has been reported in humans [15,22].…”
