title: [Comparative study on identity of B. ovis 019 strain by traditional methods and HOOF-prints technique].
abstract: B. ovis 019 strain was identified by traditional methods and HOOF-Prints technique. Software DNAMAN was used to analyze phylogenetic tree for B. ovis 019 and reference strains of B. abortus 2308, B. melitensis 16M, B. suis 1330 and B. ovis 63/290. The results showed that the similarity between B. ovis 019 and B. ovis 63/290 was higher than that between B. ovis 019 and the other reference strains, which was in accordance with the results by conventional bacteriological methods. HOOF-Prints technique would be a promising method for identifying Brucella species and even biovars.
