Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Leishmania infantum from Southeastern France: Evaluation Using Multi-Locus Microsatellite Typing
Fig 6
Unrooted neighbor-joining tree inferred from genetic distances derived from the proportion of alleles shared among the 270 isolates of L. infantum based on 12 microsatellite markers.
The two populations defined using STRUCTURE are highlighted. The blue stars correspond to the non-MON-1 strains. At the end of each branche of the network, the first three characters correspond to the arbitrarily assigned number for each genotype, the following two characters (AM, P, Ce, Co) correspond to the endemic area of sample collection, and then the last two characters correspond to the number of isolates with the given genotype. The orange rectangles represent the isolates with mixed genotypes. The sub populations are represented with colored ovals at K = 6 for A sub-populations and K = 2 for B sub-populations. The isolates with no color are those with mixed genotypes within A sub-populations at K = 6. MEGA 4 software was used to visualize the neighbor-joining tree.
