THE PAN-GENOME OF MYCOBACTERIUM AVIUM SUBSP. PARATUBERCULOSIS (MAP) CONFIRMS ANCESTRAL LINEAGE AND REVEALS GENE REARRANGEMENTS WITHIN MAP TYPE S

Abstract Background To date genomic studies on Map have Stamping concentrated on Type C strains with only a few Type S strains included for comparison.In this study the entire pan-genome of 261 Map genomes (205 Type C, 52 Type S and 4 Type B) and 7 Mycobacterium avium complex (Mac) genomes were analysed to identify genomic similarities and differen

The aim of the present study was to estimate the occurrence of Ehrlichia canis in cats from the semiarid region of Northeast of Brazil.Sera of 101 healthy cats were submitted by Indirect Immunofluorescence Assay (IFA), and considered positive when antibody titers ? 40 were obtained.Seroprevalence of Action Figure 35.6% (36/101) was found, with the
