Application of whole genome sequencing in diagnosis and control of livestock diseases
Abstract
Fowl cholera and porcine respiratory diseases are major threats to the fast growing pig and poultry industries in Australia. Members of the bacterial family Pasteurellaceae are identified among the primary pathogens as well as opportunistic causes of porcine respiratory diseases.
We use whole genome sequencing (WGS) and phylogenomic analysis to investigate outbreak dynamics as well as monitoring and comparing the variations in the virulence factors of outbreak and vaccine strains.
