This isolation of the population has meant that Icelandic horses have remained free from most common contagious diseases of Equidae, including equine influenza, equine rhinopneumonitis, equine viral arteritis, Rhodococcus equi infection, and strangles (Streptococcus equi subsp. Removal of strains with identical sequences that were recovered from the same animal on the same date produced a data set of 59 ST209 isolates with 434 polymorphic core genome positions (Table S2 ). zooepidemicus recovered from Icelandic horses in this study are also likely to have caused clinical signs of disease. zooepidemicus likely persisted in the horses at the Icelandic Veterinary Institute, accruing nucleotide diversity over time within this isolated population. ./cache/cord-278303-lnrgom58.txt ./txt/cord-278303-lnrgom58.txt
