# Complete genome sequence of a Mycobacterium bovis strain associated with a bovine tuberculosis outbreak on a cattle farm in Saskatchewan, Canada

## TL;DR

This paper presents the full genome sequence of a Mycobacterium bovis strain that caused a tuberculosis outbreak in cattle in Saskatchewan.

## Contribution

The study provides a new complete genome sequence of a M. bovis strain linked to a recent bovine tuberculosis outbreak.

## Key findings

- The genome sequence was obtained from a bovine tuberculosis outbreak in Saskatchewan in 2023.
- The strain is associated with a current outbreak, offering insights into its genetic makeup and potential transmission.

## Abstract

Bovine tuberculosis is an important zoonotic infectious disease that presents a risk to human health, livestock, and wildlife. We report the complete genome sequence of a new Mycobacterium bovis strain that caused a bovine tuberculosis outbreak on a cattle farm in Saskatchewan, Canada, in 2023.
