BACKGROUND: Brucellosis is a bacterial zoonotic disease. Annually in the world more than 500,000 new cases of brucellosis in humans are registered. In this study, we propose an evolutionary model of the historical distribution of B. melitensis based on the full-genomic SNP analysis of 98 strains. RESULTS: We performed an analysis of the SNP of the complete genomes of 98 B. melitensis strains isolated in different...
