Minimum spanning tree showing the relationship between the obtained MLVA genotypes identified in this study and five sequenced C. burnetii strains, i.e. Dugway (Genbank accession number CP000733), RSA331 (CP000890), Nine Mile RSA493 (AE016828), CbuG Q212 (CP001019) and CbuK Q154 (CP001020) were determined in silico[13]using the published sequences. Each circle represents a unique genotype; the size of the circle corresponds to the number of samples with that genotype. Only full MLVA genotypes were included in this analysis. Branch labels and connecting lines correspond to the number of different markers between the genotypes. Genotypes connected by a gray background differ in only one marker from each other and may represent microvariants of one founder genotype. One cluster represents genotypes (I, J, M, AB and AC) obtained exclusively in cattle. The genotypes from cattle, goats and sheep (S, Z, AA and T) are clustered in two other groups.
