In the Based Upon Related Sequence Types (BURST) algorithm of eBURST, the labeled dots represent the sequence type (ST) or amino acid type (AAT) for Figure 4A and 4B, respectively; the size of the dot denotes the number of isolates represented by that ST/AAT, and the solid lines between two dots indicate those which are single locus variants (SLVs) of each other and belong to a clonal complex (CC). The position and the distance between the dots are arbitrary. A: Based on 110 STs of the global
B. hyodysenteriae
population: STs that represented isolates from North America or from other countries are labelled in green or black, respectively, and primary founder types are depicted by blue colored dots. B: Based on 67 AATs of the global
B. hyodysenteriae
population: AATs that represented isolates from North America, other countries or both are labelled in green, black or pink, respectively. Predicted primary and secondary founder types are depicted by blue and yellow colored dots respectively.
