Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides (Mmm) is the etiological agent of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP), one of the major diseases affecting cattle in sub-Saharan Africa. In Nigeria, CBPP is responsible for economic losses of 2.2 billion, especially due to absence or improper control programs, lack of vaccine efficacy and reduced disease surveillance in the field, abattoir and the laboratories. The aim of the study was to perform a global genomes comparison of Mmm strains isolated from cattle during CBPP outbreaks in different regions of Nigeria by whole-genome sequencing.

Abstract
Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides (Mmm) is the etiological agent of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP), one of the major diseases affecting cattle in sub-Saharan Africa. In Nigeria, CBPP is responsible for economic losses of 2.2 billion, especially due to absence or improper control programs, lack of vaccine efficacy and reduced disease surveillance in the field, abattoir and the laboratories. The aim of the study was to perform a global genomes comparison of Mmm strains isolated from cattle during CBPP outbreaks in different regions of Nigeria by whole-genome sequencing.File in questo prodotto:
