Ecology and distribution of Leptospira spp., reservoir hosts and environmental interaction in Sri Lanka, with identification of a new strain
Fig 5
Evolutionary analysis of concatenated MLST allele sequences The tree was inferred in MEGA X using the Maximum Likelihood method and Tamura 3-parameter model.
Bootstrap values above 70% are shown next to the branches. MLST sequences from Leptospira interrogans (L.i.), Leptospira borgpetersenii (L.b.) and Leptospira kirschneri (L.k.) obtained from specimen collected in this study are shown (○). For comparison, MLST sequences from human clinical isolates originating from Sri Lanka were included in the analysis (●). The tree was rooted using concatenated MLST sequences of Leptospira santarosai (L.s.) strain Alice.
