It is common for members of the FSSC that share the same multi-locus haplotypes to cause infections in humans, animals and plants.[43] This is true also in F. falciforme which was reported as an emerging pathogen on lima bean in Brazil [44] and shares a most recent common ancestor with F. falciforme haplotypes in this study based on phylogenetic placement of a portion of the RPB2 gene (data not shown). The gene discussed is POLR2B; the disease is infection.
