Figure 6

Model for the evolution of the Bordetella pertussis ptxP1 and ptxP3 lineages. The tree is mainly based on two point mutations found in ptxP and fim3 resulting in three lineages, ptxP1-fim3-1, ptxP3-fim3-1 and ptxP3-fim3-2. A single strain carrying the ptxP1-fim3-4 alleles was not included. The deleted regions are indicated in boxes and the frequency in the population is shown above the boxes. The frequencies of prn and MLVA types are given in the right part of the figure. See text for further details.
