Figure 1

MLST phylogenetic tree for 64 Borrelia isolates, representing the diversity of the Lyme agent and relapsing fever group. A Bayesian tree of MLST data (constructed as described in Methods) is shown where the geographic provenance of isolates is represented by the color of their respective branches: black for North American isolates and red for European isolates. The dashed line indicates the attachment of the expanded B. burgdorferi s.s. tree below. We sequenced the genomes of those strains with green names. Scale bars for the top and bottom sections indicate distances in fractional change in nucleotide sequence. Blue circles mark branches which were merged since their bootstrap support is <90%. All other branches shown have bootstrap support ≥90% and the large majority have 100% support.
