Deletion in the gene BruAb2_0168 of Brucella abortus strains: diagnostic challenges A.S. Dean, E. Schelling, B. Bonfoh, A.E. Kulo, G.A. Boukaya, P. Pilo Clinical Microbiology and Infection Volume 20, Issue 9, Pages O550-O553 (September 2014) DOI: 10.1111/1469-0691.12554 Copyright © 2013 European Society of Clinical Infectious Diseases Terms and Conditions

FIG. 1 Location of two deletions in the BruAb2_0168 gene of Brucella abortus strains from Togo compared with B. abortus vaccine strain S19. The DNA target for the PCR specific for the abortus species is shown to fall in the range of the first deletion.

FIG. 2 Dendogram showing the genetically closest strains to the three Togo strains. The species and biovar are given, followed by the country in which the strain was isolated, the author and the strain reference from the MLVAnet. This analysis was performed using MLVA-8 (panel 1) loci plus bruce18 and bruce21, in order to assess large-scale population structure. *This strain is not listed in MLVAnet [14].
