Brucella canis samples 2016-2019 for outbreak investigation
Brucella canis is a zoonotic pathogen and the main causative agent of canine brucellosis. In the Netherlands, B. canis had only been detected in individual cases of imported dogs. However, in 2019 an outbreak of B. canis occurred for the first time in a cohort of autochthonous dogs in a breeding kennel. This study contains the whole-genome-sequencing (WGS) samples of the 2019 outbreak and earlier cases in the Netherlands for background.
