From: Multi-locus sequence analyses reveal a clonal L. borgpetersenii genotype in a heterogeneous invasive Rattus spp. community across the City of Johannesburg, South Africa

a The prevalence of Leptospira sp. infection in Rattus spp. in the six administrative regions of the City of Johannesburg in which more than 10 animals were sampled. Region F, where three animals were sampled, is shaded in grey. All infections were typed by lfb1 melt curve analysis as L. borgpetersenii. b Bayesian multi-locus (lfb1, 167 bp; secY, 431 bp; and lipL41, 592 bp) phylogeny of L. borgpetersenii detected in three samples from three administrative regions (A, B and C) of Johannesburg. Nodes with posterior support greater than 0.9 are labelled. Reference sequences are labelled by biosample and Leptospira strain. Individual gene trees including all samples successfully typed for each locus are found in Additional file 3: Figures S3–S5
