Phylogenetic reconstruction based on maximum likelihood estimation. Branch lengths are proportional to the number of substitutions per site and branch values are the bootstrap values assigned to the edges (i.e. the branch support values).
Fig 2.
Phylogenetic reconstruction was inferred using the maximum likelihood method. The tree is drawn to scale, with branch lengths measured in the number of substitutions per site.

Restriction Enzyme Analysis of GWTS isolates of Leptospira.
Genomic DNA from GWTS isolates #1 (1), #2 (2) and #3 (3) were compared by REA to that of L. alstonii isolates of serovar Pingchang (4), serovar Sichuan (5), MS 267 (6), MS 311 (7) and MS 316 (8). L = DNA Marker.

Fluorescent antibody test of GWTS #1.
GWTS isolate #1 is reactive with fluorescent conjugated antibody as routinely used to detect leptospires in infected animal tissues.
