Fig. 4

Multidimensional scaling (MDS) plot of ITS rDNA from Trypanosoma vivax and T. vivax-like. a Space distribution of 263 ITS sequences from tsetse flies and blood samples inferred with three components (PC1, PC2 and PC3) and K-means MDS method. The analysis support Tvv and TvL-Gorongosa as the major clusters, in addition to unclustered sequences. b MDS restricted to Tvv formed by sequences from South America (SA), West Africa (WA), Mozambique and Ethiopia (EA). c MDS restricted to SA/WA dataset unveiling genotypes Tvv1 from WA (plus two sequences from Ethiopia in grey circles), Tvv2 (SA), Tvv3-Tvv4 from MZ, and the Ethiopian Tvv5. MDS of TvL sequences showing a broad array of genotypes TvL1-TvL7 forming the lineage TvL-Gorongosa, in addition to highly divergent unclustered sequences. Eigenvalues are graphically represented for each analysis. Accession numbers in GenBank of ITS sequences are showed in Additional files 1 and 2
