TV MLST
Accurate study of the sexual transmission of TV at a  molecular level has been limited by technical difficulties due to the large size and repetitive nature of its genome. In this study we use a previously described limited sequencing approach to establish whether we could identify potential sexual networks of TV transmission from at-risk sex workers in rural Ecuador. The study provides evidence that a limited approach to sequencing may provide valuable information for sexual network identification of this neglected and highly prevalent STI.
