  21. Haplotype structure in sequences of known originfrom pubMLST origin PIG SHEEP ENVIRONMENT BIRD CHICKEN CATTLE

  24. Attributing novel genotypes • ST 574: 7 53 2 10 11 3 3 • Human-specific, but similar to... • ST 305: 9 53 2 10 11 3 3 • ST 713: 12 53 2 10 11 3 3 • ST 728: 4 53 2 10 10 3 3 • ST 2585: 7 2 3 10 11 3 3 • All these found in chicken, so the likely source is chicken

  26. BIRD SHEEP CATTLE CHICKEN ENVIRONT PIG HUMAN

  27. Model C: unlinked

  28. Does it work?Empirical cross-validation • Split sequences of known origin into two groups. Treat one group as having unknown origin (pseudo-human cases) • Infer the proportion of pseudo-human cases drawn from each source population • Repeat 100 times to study the performance of the method

  29. Simulation and empirical cross-validationResults: Linked model

  30. Case-by-case: probability of source PIG ENVIRONMENT WILD BIRD CATTLE CHICKEN SHEEP

  31. Gene flow between source populations

  32. Tracing the source of infection: results

  33. Tracing the host species of humanfood-borne infections • Infected meat principal source (97%) • No evidence for environment or wild birds as a major transmission route • Prevention strategies: • Enhanced on-farm biosecurity • Interrupting transmission chain
