Figure 5. Split decomposition analysis of the Sporothrix brasiliensis isolates from zoonotic epidemic outbreaks in different geographic regions in Brazil according to sequences of the calmodulin-encoding gene (A) and the translation elongation factor-1 alpha (EF1α) locus region (B).

The inset Box represents the S. brasiliensis species alone, showing the absence of recombination possibilities within this species. The absence of reticulated phylogenetic structure in the S. brasiliensis haplotypes suggests a clonality spread of this species among human, cats and dogs in Brazil for both loci.
