Genome Announc. 2015 Mar 12;3(2):e00120-15. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00120-15.

Abstract

Bordetella avium is a highly contagious bacterium that infects the upper respiratory tract of birds. B. avium Nh1210 is an outbreak strain of lockjaw syndrome in juvenile cockatiel chicks (Nymphicus hollandicus). Here, we report the draft genome sequence of strain Nh1210.
