Figure 1. The geographical origins of the patients, the differential distribution of the gyrA SNP7614 ‘C’ and ‘T’ alleles, and the fine mapping of the three locus genotypes in Colombia.
A: Map depicting the distribution of patients with the M. leprae gyrA ‘C’ allele. B: Map depicting the distribution of patients with the M. leprae gyrA ‘T’ allele. The Panels A and B have a scale bar of 50 miles. C: Zoomed in view of the strain types in Barranquilla, Atlántico. D: Zoomed in view of the strain types in Bucaramanga, Santander. The Panels C and D have a scale bar of 1 mile. E. The key for the place-marks representing different genotypes. The empty donut and empty triangle indicate that alleles for one or both of the VNTRs could not be determined for the gyrA C or T type isolates.
