Figure 2From: Multiple-locus, variable number of tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) of the fish-pathogen Francisella noatunensisThe relationship of the isolates included in this study. Relationship among the 33 Francisella isolates based on allelic differences at seven VNTR loci. This unrooted ultrametric NJ tree show known topography a) between the species of F. philomiragia (Fp) and F. noatunensis, b) between the subspecies F. noatunensis ssp. orientalis (Fno) and F. noatunensis ssp. noatunensis (Fnn) and c) among the F. noatunensis ssp. noatunensis isolates from Norway and Chile (FnnC-UA2660). Two previously unrecognized clades are evident within the Norwegian Fnn isolates. Bootstrap values were not calculated as there were too few characters and taxa in the dataset for correct estimation of sampling error W = wild caught, broodfishF, type strainTBack to article page
