Geographical distribution of dairy farms from which M. bovis mastitis-associated isolates (1994–2017) that were included in this study were collected. The map was prepared by using ArcGIS Pro 2.2.4 software (https://support.esri.com/en/products/desktop/arcgis-desktop/arcgis-pro/2-2-4). The radius of each circle represents the number of M. bovis mastitis episodes in that farm and/or the number of M. bovis-positive farms within the same settlement. Dominant mastitis – associated and other genotypes were colored by red and blue, respectively, while mixed genotype (dominant and other) was colored by green. The regional veterinary districts and Palestinian authority are showed by different colors
