Show abstract

Genomic data on the foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes from Central America are scarse. We analysed 92 isolates collected in Costa Rica over a decade from different regions, compared them to publicly available genomes and identified unnoticed outbreaks. This study calls for mandatory reporting of listeriosis to improve pathogen surveillance.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
