Figures & Tables

Fig. 1.

Combined minimum spanning tree analysis based on seven-locus (mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit-variable number of tandem repeats (MIRU-VNTR) genotyping taking the 07, 10, 25, 32, 47, 292 and X3 loci of Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis (MAH) strains. The N32 MAH strain isolated from two black howler monkeys with recurrent diarrhoea (N32) and previously published strain data were used for the analysis. Circle sizes are proportional to the number of isolates sharing an identical VNTR pattern. MAH 104 is a reference strain. Lines connecting two types denote single- or double-locus variations with each length
