Transoceanic Spreading of Pathogenic Strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus with Distinctive Genetic Signatures in the recA Gene
Fig 3
Sequence types (STs) identified at both side of the Pacific Ocean and route for the movement of waters associated with El Niño event (red arrow).
STs in red indicate those genetic variants detected both in Asia and Peru (ST189a), including the ST189 for the strain 090–96 with the recA insertion.
