Fig. 5

Relatedness and genetic divergence levels between the 8 Sri Lankan L. donovani isolates. a Heat map and associated dendrogram based on the similarity between the SNP profiles of 8 isolates. Each colored square in heat map represents the level of SNP similarity for an isolate listed along the y-axis compared to the isolate listed on the x-axis according to the colour key given. The colour bar below the dendrogram represents the phenotype of isolate: Red-CL-SL and Black-VL-SL. Three distinct clades are visible. CL-SL, VL-SL and CL-PR. L2331 CL isolate is an exception that it clusters with the VL group. b Principal component analysis based on a pruned SNP set of 8 isolates shows the same results as above (c) Phylogenetic tree based on maximum-likelihood method showing the genetic divergence levels between different Leishmania strains
