Show abstract
Salmonella was isolated from 23/79 (29.1%) gecko stool samples from households in southern Malawi. Whole genome sequencing of 47 isolates revealed 27 Salmonella serovars spanning two subspecies. Our results demonstrate that geckos play an important role in the carriage and potentially, transmission of Salmonella within households.
