Molecular epidemiology of bovine tuberculosis in Northern Ghana identifies several uncharacterized bovine spoligotypes and suggests possible zoonotic transmission
Fig 8
Phylogenetic relationship between M. bovis isolates from both bovine and humans (clinical).
In all, 3 out of the four clinical M. bovis isolates (pink) had the same spoligotype patterns as the bovine isolates. The three M. caprae with distinct patterns (blue) were isolated from bovine source. Two human-adapted MTBCs were isolated from the bovine source; one Maf L6 (Green) and one Mtbss L4 (Red, Cameroon). The labels on the leaves represent the SIT numbers.
