Attenuation of virulence in an apicomplexan hemoparasite results in reduced genome diversity at the population level

BACKGROUND: Virulence acquisition and loss is a dynamic adaptation of pathogens to thrive in changing milieus. We investigated the mechanisms of virulence loss at the whole genome level using Babesia bovis as a model apicomplexan in which genetically related attenuated parasites can be reliably deri...
