High genetic diversity of in the Amazon basin, 2006-2017.

Genome sequencing has revealed that , the etiological agent of histoplasmosis is composed of several phylogenetic species. Nonetheless, the genetic diversity of the pathogen remains largely unknown, especially in the tropics. We sequenced the genome for 91 isolates from the Amazon basin, and used phylogenomics, and population genetic evidence to measure the genetic variation of the genus in South America.
