Although it is difficult to extrapolate the diversity of less than 100 viruses tested in neutralization assays to the diversity of the 10 s of thousands of viruses circulating in the world, the subtype distribution of our informatics assessment clearly correlates with the subtype distribution of the in vitro tests (Table 3).
This is in line with the low genetic diversity of less than 0.5% detected for all HBV-G strains isolated worldwide [ 39].
Strains grouped in each cluster showed a diversity (distance level) of less than 10% (or homology level >90%).
The high degree of similarity in PFGE subtypes of super- and low-shedder E. coli O157 H7 isolates reported by Cobbold et al. [ 8] is likely a reflection of less diversity of E. coli O157 H7 in pens of 8 animals compared to that noted in the commercial feedlot pens of the present study.
Considering the nearly 100% infection rate of Wolbachia and the small diversity of mitochondria (less than 0.01) were observed in natural populations (Additional file 8: Table S5), we proposed that the invasion of Wolbachia in SBPH occurred recently.
