Complete genome reconstruction of the global and European regional dispersal history of the lumpy skin disease virus.
this limitation has not yet been formally assessed. Furthermore, until present, whole genome sequencing in affected areas has remained patchy. This study combines the first fine-grained sampling of LSDV ...

A genomic appraisal of invasive Salmonella Typhimurium and associated antibiotic resistance in sub-Saharan Africa.
sequence data from 1303 S. Typhimurium isolates originating from 19 African countries and isolated between 1979 and 2017, here we show a thorough scaled appraisal of the population structure of iNTS disease ...
BSFM 2023- L. monocytogenes in Plant-Based Foods: insights from of a recent foodborne outbreak linked to vegan alternative to cheese
following ISO 11290 – 1 and – 2. A human strain was collected at the NRC Listeria. All isolated strains underwent serotyping for further characterisation at the NRC Listeria, and Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) ...
Strain-level characterization without culture enrichment? Easing and accelerating outbreak investigation using shotgun metagenomics facilitated with nanopore adaptive sampling
resolved. Shotgun metagenomics is a sequencing method involving the analysis of the genetic material directly extracted from a sample, without the need for an isolation of the bacteria. By sequencing and ...
Genomic monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 variants using sentinel SARI hospital surveillance.
