Beschreibungen/Notizen

• We present a retrospective analysis of strains from two anthrax outbreaks in western Kazakhstan in 2009. The outbreaks occurred during the same period and in the same area located close to main roads, favoring a single source of infection. However, multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA), canonical single-nucleotide polymorphism (CanSNP) analysis, and genome-wide analysis demonstrated that the outbreaks were not connected.
