AbstractSalmonella entericaserovar Paratyphi A, the causative agent of paratyphoid fever, is a neglected tropical disease with a high burden and mortality in low- and middle-income countries. Limited information is available regarding its genomic diversity, especially from South Asian countries that are collectively responsible for >80% of all paratyphoid cases. At the 2021 International Conference on Typhoid and Other Salmonelloses, researchers from the around the globe presented their work onSalmonellaParatyphi A genomics. Presentations described recent genomic data from South Asia and the development ofParatype, an open-access single-nucleotide polymorphism–based genotyping scheme, to segregateSalmonellaParatyphi A genomes in a systematic and sustainable manner. In this review, we attempt to summarize the progress made thus far onSalmonellaParatyphi A genomics and discuss the questions that remain to better understand the pathogen and develop interventions to fight it.
