FIG 4.
Consensus parsimony tree showing the genotype diversity of C. burnetii for each of the 17 MLVA markers, considering vaginal mucus (n = 26) and feces (n = 2) samples from 20 females. Numbers from 1 to 8 (marked with an asterisk) correspond to aborting females and from 9 to 20 to nonaborting females. Letters (ordered alphabetically so as to represent the sampling chronology) are used when females were sampled several times. Genotypes 1B and 2B correspond to feces samples.
