As Portugal was an African and Brazilian colonizer for over 400 years, we hypothesized that Portuguese isolates were likely genetically closer with those from countries colonized by Portuguese in the past. We aimed to characterize the population structure of several Portuguese-speaking countries, including Portugal, Brazil, Angola, and Cape Verde.engHelicobacter pyloriPhylogeographyPopulation StructurePortuguese-speaking CountriesHuman EvolutionInfecções Gastrointestinaisjournal article10.1111/hel.12382
