The clinical presentation of brucellosis in humans is variable and unspecific, and thus,
laboratory corroboration of the diagnosis is essential for the patient's proper treatment. The …

Brucellosis is one of the most important and widespread bacterial zoonoses worldwide.
Cases are reported annually across the range of known infectious species of the genus …

Background The opportunities for bacterial population genomics that are being realised by
the application of parallel nucleotide sequencing require novel bioinformatics platforms …

Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of bacterial isolates has become standard practice in
many laboratories. Applications for WGS analysis include phylogeography and molecular …

Caprine brucellosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by the gram-negative cocci-
bacillus Brucella melitensis. Middle-to late-term abortion, stillbirths, and the delivery of weak …

Reduced-representation genome sequencing represents a new source of data for
systematics, and its potential utility in interspecific phylogeny reconstruction has not yet been …

Hybridization has a major role in evolution—from the introgression of important phenotypic
traits between species, to the creation of new species through hybrid speciation. Molecular …

Because genetically monomorphic bacterial pathogens harbour little DNA sequence
diversity, most current genoty** techniques used to study the epidemiology of these …

Innovations in sequencing technologies have allowed biologists to make incredible
advances in understanding biological systems. As experience grows, researchers …

Brucella species are responsible for brucellosis, one of the world's most widespread
