Fig 2. UPGMA clustering analysis of mediasiatica strains based on MLVA15 data.

Fig 2

The dendrogram was constructed using UPGMA (Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean). The MLVA data of 12 loci are shown (loci Ft-M16, Ft-M23 and Ft-M24 with an identical allele 1 in all strains are masked). The Table 3# index refers to the location indicated in Fig 4and numbering in Table 3. The cluster cut-off value of 60% defines three groups, labelled M.I (Central Asian origin, red), M.II (Altaic origin, green) and M.III (Karakalpak, blue). Strains from SRCAMB collection are indicated using prefix SRCAMB#.
