Description:
Article The role of wild elk in the spread and persistence of bovine brucellosis in the Great Yellowstone area is unclear. Here, Kamath et al. analyse the genomic sequences of 245 Brucella abortus isolates from elk, bison and cattle, supporting the idea that elk is an important reservoir and source of livestock infections.
