Figure 4. Genotype group association patterns.

Figure 4

The dendogram shows the genotype groups (GGs) found using rplB and ospC sequences detected in tick and host individuals; the B. miyamotoi rplB groups G16 and G17 were excluded. Communities of frequently co-occurring GGs within individuals were identified using a greedy approach. Each color of the dendogram corresponds to one of these communities and constitutes a set of genotype groups (SGG). The phylogenetic relationships between GGs and genotypes previously described in the literature are summarized in the next column after GGs’ labels: rplB GGs were associated with their Borrelia species and ospC GGs to previously described genetic groups18,22,25,26. The third column summarized species in which the GGs were found.
