Variation in Mycobacterium bovis genetic richness suggests that inwards cattle movements are a more important source of infection in beef herds than in dairy herds

open access: yesBMC Microbiology, 2019
Background We used genetic Multi-Locus VNTR Analysis (MLVA) data gathered from surveillance efforts to better understand the ongoing bovine tuberculosis (bTB) epidemic in Northern Irish cattle herds.

The spread of Mycoplasma pneumoniae is polyclonal in both an endemic setting in France and in an epidemic setting in Israel. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections occur both endemically and epidemically, and macrolide resistance has been spreading for 10 years worldwide. A substantial increased incidence of M. pneumoniae infections has been reported in several countries since 2010.

Population structure of Bartonella henselae in Algerian urban stray cats. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Whole blood samples from 211 stray cats from Algiers, Algeria, were cultured to detect the presence of Bartonella species and to evaluate the genetic diversity of B. henselae strains by multiple locus VNTR analysis (MLVA).

Effect of seed circulation systems on the spread and diversity of Xanthomonas phaseoli pv. manihotis infecting cassava crops of the Colombian Caribbean

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 353-364, January 2026.
Cassava is a lifeline for millions of people across the tropics, but its productivity is at risk from a disease called Cassava Bacterial Blight (CBB). In this study, we explore how the everyday practices of farmers exchanging cassava cuttings—a long‐standing tradition—can shape how the disease spreads and evolves in the Colombian Caribbean.

MLVA GENOTYPING OF B. ANTHRACIS IN THE FORMATION OF A COLLECTION OF REPRESENTATIVE STRAINS

open access: yesEurasian Journal of Applied Biotechnology, 2021
Anthrax is an infectious disease that affects many species of mammals and humans. Bacteriological isolation of the pathogen and its identification by phenotypic and PCR methods remains the gold standard. However, these methods do not allow determining the cause of the outbreak, namely, their origin from one or more sources.

Multi-locus variable number tandem repeat analysis of 7th pandemic Vibrio cholerae

open access: yesBMC Microbiology, 2012
Background Seven pandemics of cholera have been recorded since 1817, with the current and ongoing pandemic affecting almost every continent. Cholera remains endemic in developing countries and is still a significant public health issue.

Epidemiological Trends and Strain Distribution of Bovine Brucellosis in Vaccinated Industrial Dairy Cattle (2021–2024)

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Brucellosis remains a significant zoonotic disease in Iran, affecting both public health and livestock productivity despite decades of control efforts. This study presents findings from a four‐year nationwide active surveillance program (2021–2024) targeting industrial dairy cattle herds vaccinated with the Brucella abortus RB51 vaccine.

Species identification and molecular typing of human Brucella isolates from Kuwait.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease of major concern in Kuwait and the Middle East. Human brucellosis can be caused by several Brucella species with varying degree of pathogenesis, and relapses are common after apparently successful therapy.

Evaluation of multiple-locus variable number of tandem repeats analysis for typing livestock-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
BackgroundThe increasing occurrence of livestock-associated (LA) methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) associated with the clonal complex (CC) 398 within the past years shows the importance of standardized and comparable typing methods for ...
