“…hominis indicates a flexible reproductive strategy with panmictic (where genetic exchange occurs at random with limited or no sub-structuring), clonal and epidemic population structures (Mallon et al, 2003;Morrison et al, 2008;Tanriverdi et al, 2008;Widmer and Sullivan, 2010;Drumo et al, 2012;De Waele et al, 2013;Ramo et al, 2015Ramo et al, , 2016Widmer et al, 2015). The relative contribution of each type of population structure appears to vary between regions and hosts, and may reflect the prevailing ecological transmission dynamics (Mallon et al, 2003;Tanriverdi et al, 2008;Widmer and Sullivan, 2010;Herges et al, 2012;Widmer et al, 2015).…”
