Evolution and phylogenetic characteristics of the first Brucella canis strain isolated from a human patient in Yunnan Province, China
The first isolation of <i>B. canis</i> in the region expands the local spectrum of pathogenic <i>Brucella</i> and highlights the substantial infection risk for individuals with close dog and livestock contact. Enhanced surveillance, targeted screening of high-risk populations, and public health education are necessary to mitigate the risk of <i>B. canis</i> transmission.
