aFor each country, when the same MLVA profile is shared by more than one strain, only one genotype or distinct MLVA profile is presented. Here the 25 distinct genotypes of Brucella abortus biovar 3 obtained from 42 MLVA profiles found in the literature on West Africa (19 genotypes out of 34 profiles from Nigeria, 3 out 3 profiles from Togo, 1 distinct genotype out of 3 profiles from the Gambia, 2 from each single profile reported from Ivory Coast and Niger) are presented with 5 strains from East Africa and 3 references strains from the MLVA bank;
additional locus comprised in the MLVA-16 and absent in MLVA-15;
