Summary

It is found that crAssphage prevalence is low in traditional, hunter-gatherer populations, such as the Hadza from Tanzania and Matses from Peru, as compared to industrialized, urban populations, and the absence of strong biogeographic structuring within global crAss phage strains is likely due to a recent population expansion within this bacteriophage.
