Fig 1. Cladophialophora carrionii ITS-BT2 haplotype network, with geographical distribution, gaps and missing data excluded.

Three main clusters (cA~cC) were recognizable in concatenated ITS-BT2 sequence data of C. carrionii. Cluster cC took a most distant position and harbored the largest diversity. Cluster cB was dominated by Asian strains. Strains of group cA nearly all came from South or Central America. These groups matched with groups (AFLP-A~AFLP-D) given by AFLP analysis. The majority of African strains clustered close to group AFLP-A, and subcluster AFLP-D which contain the majority of strains clustered in sequence-based group cA’ and cB’.
