Project name: Mycoplasmoides gallisepticum NC06_2006.080-5-2P strain:House finch-associated

Description: Mycoplasma gallisepticum is an emergent pathogen of wild passerine birds, primarily the American house finch (Carpodacus mexicanus) in which M. gallisepticum was first described in 1994 and has subsequently spread in an epizootic across the US. This project was aimed at characterizing HFMG genomic changes, those occurring as HFMG evolves across the epizootic and in response to new environmental and host pressures, and those associated with evolving phenotypes.
