Abstract
Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium that infects the human stomach, has high genetic diversity. Because its evolution is parallel to human, H. pylori is used as a tool to trace human migration. However, there are few studies about the relationship between phylogeography of H. pylori and its host human.
