Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of Brucella strains isolated from autochthonous livestock reveals the dominance of B. abortus biovar 3a in Nigeria
Veterinary Microbiology(2015)
Abstract
•34 isolates from cattle, sheep and horses were identified as Brucella abortus biovar 3.•AMOS-ERY PCR showed that all strains belonged to the 3a sub-biovar.•MLVA grouped the strains in a lineage distinct from European B. abortus biovar 3b.•MLVA detected heterogeneity within the Nigerian biovar 3a strains.
