Population Genetics of the “Aeromonas hydrophila Species Complex”

Population genetics studies the genetic variability of individuals in a population based on the allele frequencies at several genes or loci and tries to explain this variability in terms of mutation, selection or genetic recombination. The statistical analysis of these frequencies allows models of evolution to be established, which will help us to understand and predict the past and present gene flow in the population (Maynard-Smith, 1991). For the most part population genetics has been designed for diploid organisms with sexual reproduction. In the words of Bruce Levin, “the genetic theory of adaptive evolution was developed by sexually reproducing eukaryotes, for sexually reproducing eukaryotes” (Levin & Bergstrom, 2000). As a consequence, before being applied to prokaryotes, population genetics needs to be adapted.
