Main Article

Figure 1

Brucella neotomae phylogeny. Maximum parsimony tree was derived from wgSNP data. We investigated 27 datasets and identified 149 SNPs; tree size is 151 substitutions (homoplasy 1.5%). Circles are colored according to primary strain identifier; red indicates the 3 datasets from Costa Rica. Circles are labeled with an accession number or collection strain identifier (Brucella Culture Collection Nouzilly [BCCN]) or Animal and Plant Health Agency [APHA] Weybridge collections). Branch lengths >1 substitution are indicated. Black star shows the position of the hypothetical MRCA. Box indicates the 2 MLST21 STs. MLST, multilocus sequence typing; MRCA, most recent common ancestor; SNP, single-nucleotide polymorphism; ST, sequence type; wgSNP, whole-genome single-nucleotide polymorphism.
