Genetic structure and diversity of <i>Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae</i> based on a MLVA typing scheme.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Several epidemiological studies have been carried out using Multiple-Locus Variable-number tandem repeat Analysis (MLVA) for M. hyopneumoniae typing. However, a global perspective on the implications of the genetic diversity of this pathogen is lacking.

Objective

This study aimed to determine and to analyze the genetic structure of M. hyopneumoniae based on the p97R1-p146R3 MLVA typing scheme and to characterize, analyze and compare MLVA types among countries where the information was publicly available.

Methods

A set of 797 publicly available data of M. hyopneumoniae p97R1-p146R3 MLVA genetic types from six different countries were analyzed using Genalex 6.41 software to characterize loci polymorphism and us
