Okay, final plug... If you're interested in host adaptation, MGEs or host pathogen interactions you should read our paper in @NatureEcoEvo (spoiler: humans started it all) Here is a link to the full article courtesy of #SharedIt thanks @SpringerNature rdcu.be/3okk
Host-jumping bacteria and the evolution of pathogenic clones natureecoevocommunity.nature.com/channels/521-b… #behindthepaper
@MilnerCentre paper on host switching in S. aureus out today in Nature Ecology and Evolution (with many colleagues!)
