Genome specialization and decay of the strangles pathogen, Streptococcus equi, is driven by persistent infection

Strangles, the most frequently diagnosed infectious disease of horses worldwide, is caused by Streptococcus equi. Despite its prevalence, the global diversity and mechanisms underlying the evolution of S. equi as a host-restricted pathogen remain poorly understood. Here, we define the global populat...
