The
genus is so far ranging due to its unparticular diet and adaptability to
different biomes and landforms, from marshes to hillsides to drainage ditches and
even vacant lots, in both dry and wet regions, with varying proximity to water and rivers.
The application of whole - genome sequencing has moved us on from sequencing single genomes to defining unravelling population structures in
different niches, and at the - species, - serotype or
even -
genus level, and in local, national and global settings.
