Low effective dispersal of asexual genotypes in heterogeneous landscapes by the endemic pathogen Penicillium marneffei. by Matthew C Fisher, William P Hanage, Sybren de Hoog, Elizabeth Johnson, Michael D Smith, Nicholas J White, Nongnuch Vanittanakom

“…Our results show that, despite widespread aerial dispersal, isolates of P. marneffei show extensive spatial genetic structure in both host species at local and country-wide scales. We show that the evolution of the P. marneffei genome is overwhelmingly clonal, and that this is perhaps the most asexual fungus yet found. …”
