	abstract = {<p>The predominant clonal evolution (PCE) model of micropathogens proposed by us has been challenged by a recent paper in Molecular Ecology. We review the main tenets of our model and show that the criticisms raised by the paper{\textquoteright}s authors are based on papers that are either misunderstood or misquoted. We argue that the PCE model and its recent developments (in particular the {\textquoteright}Russian doll model{\textquoteright} dealing with micro-clonal evolution) are supported in most cases when adequate data are available.</p>
