# Draft genome sequences of six Brucella melitensis isolates collected from humans and livestock in Tanzania

## TL;DR

This paper reports the genome sequences of six Brucella melitensis strains from Tanzania, offering insights into the spread of this disease in humans and livestock.

## Contribution

The study provides new genome sequences of Brucella melitensis from Tanzania, enhancing understanding of local strain diversity.

## Key findings

- Six Brucella melitensis isolates were sequenced from Tanzania’s Kagera region.
- The genomes will aid in comparative genomics and brucellosis control strategies in East Africa.

## Abstract

We present genome assemblies of six Brucella melitensis strains isolated from goats and humans in Tanzania’s Kagera region. These sequences provide insight into circulating Brucella strains in Tanzania and East Africa. These data will support future comparative genomics, epidemiological investigations, and regional brucellosis control strategies.
