T. cruzi nuclear and maxicircle phylogenetic tanglegram. Comparison between the phylogeny based on nuclear single copy genes and the phylogeny based on the maxicircle sequences. Both trees were rooted by the Arequipa strain. The tree branches were reorganized (but not re-ordered) to facilitate the linking of the two trees. The sister group of the Y strain is highlighted in red, while the distance between Esmeraldo and S154a is highlighted in blue in both trees. The colored circle represents the geographic distribution of each sample, as depicted in Fig. 1a. The numbers correspond to the percentage of bootstrap replicates that supported each branch, where 100% corresponds to the 1,000 replicates Ync = Y strain non-cloned population; Tula = Tulahuen; CLB-Esmo = CL Brener Esmeraldo-like haplotype; CLB-Non-Esmo = CL Brener Non-esmo like haplotype
