New insights into phylogeography of worldwide Brucella canis isolates by comparative genomics-based approaches: focus on Brazil

Canine brucellosis, due to Brucella canis, is a worldwide zoonosis that remains endemic in South America, including Brazil. Implementation of powerful whole-genome sequencing approaches allowed exploring the Brucella genus considered as monomorphic, with, to date, more than 500 genomes available in public databases.
