Figure 5

Genetic analysis of Trypanosoma vivax isolates from South America and Africa. Bayesian clustering (STRUCTURE analysis plots) of 61 isolates based on 7 microsatellite loci are shown for K = 2 (two main clusters corresponding to South American and African populations) and K = 4 (partition of South American samples in two main clusters, one formed exclusively by Brazilian isolates and the other comprising all Venezuelan and some Brazilian isolates. Each cluster of isolates is represented by a different colour according to geographic region; thin black horizontal lines separate the populations. Codes of isolates in South America (TviBr = Brazil, TviVz = Venezuela, TviGuyane = French Guiana), West Africa (TviBf = Burkina Faso, TviK = Ghana, TviBan = Benin, IL700 = Nigeria, Gambia = The Gambia) and East Africa (TviMz = Mozambique).
