The Borrelia burgdorferi (BBG) network as characterised by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) with the associated ticks and vertebrates. The ForceAtlas2 algorithm was used to determine the layout of the clusters. Only BBG strains recorded from questing ticks or vertebrates were included. Each randomly chosen colour represents a cluster, and the label size is proportional to its importance in the context of the network (evaluated as its centrality). The numbers at the end of each link indicate the number of the strain according to the MLST scheme. The width of each link is proportional to the number of times that a given strain has been reported in a given tick or vertebrate
