Culicoides imicola mtDNA haplotype networks a mtDNA haplotype network of Cardinium-infected and -uninfected Culicoides imicola from a single site in Onderstepoort, South Africa; based on a 517 bp COI sequence. b mtDNA haplotype network of Culicoides imicola from sites spanning South Africa and the Mediterranean basin; based on a 451 bp COI sequence. Haplotype networks were generated using the TCS network algorithm in PopART v1.7 (9). Numbers within circles represent the numbers of individuals designated to each haplotype. The numbers of substitutions separating haplotypes are indicated by dashes. A group is defined as a cluster of mitotypes with no more than one SNP difference between at least one other mitotype within the cluster. EMB Eastern Mediterranean Basin, WMB Western Mediterranean Basin. *Indicates mtDNA haplotypes generated in this study
