Fig. 3 — Minimum spanning tree showing the genetic relationship between 112 Plasmodium falciparum genotypes. Each genotype was unique. The thick solid lines indicate that the connected genotypes differ by only one locus of microsatellite marker, i.e., single-locus variant. Similarly, the thin solid lines represent double-loci variants and the dotted lines indicate triple-loci variants. Therefore, unlinked genotypes differ by more than three loci variants of the tested microsatellite markers. Isolates are coloured-coded according to geographic location in the dendrogram as follow: Rharous (red), Bougoula (blue), Doneguebougou (green), Bamako (gold). The distance between genotypes in the diagram does not reflect any relationship with genetic distance between genotypes
