# Draft genome sequence of the HP60 serovar of Avibacterium paragallinarum

## TL;DR

This paper presents the draft genome sequence of the HP60 serovar of Avibacterium paragallinarum, which causes infectious coryza in poultry.

## Contribution

The study provides a new draft genome for comparative analysis with other serovars of the pathogen.

## Key findings

- The genome of HP60 was sequenced to facilitate comparative genomic studies.
- The work aims to identify similarities and differences among A. paragallinarum serovars.

## Abstract

Infectious coryza, caused by Avibacterium paragallinarum, poses a challenge for poultry farms due to the inefficacy of vaccines. The genome of A. paragallinarum serovar HP60, which belongs to the C-serogroup, was sequenced to enable comparative analysis with other serovar genomes to identify the similarities and differences between the genomes.
