One of the craziest things in my 20s was finding out that nearly every post college woman I knew somehow had a "mentor," ie a boomer male who went out of his way to professionally guide her
The lack of genetic diversity in the sequenced M gene strongly suggests there was one, and only one, rodent-to-human transsmission. The way to distinguish whether the rodent-to-human step occured once, off the boat, versus there are multiple rodent-to-human steps from rodents on the boat is to look at the genetic diversity of the M gene of the human cases. The M gene has the most diversity, compared to the L or N genes. If all human sequences were identical for M, it was a single introduction. With a molecular clock of about 10 mutations per year, getting infected by multiple rodent-to-human events should show some few mutations. There are no mutations in four, sequenced M genes thus far.
