(A) Graph of the percentage of identical base pairs for the detected and undetected samples for B. miyamotoi PCR. The percentage of identical sequenced bases is >60% for the detected samples which display long runs of identical bases (B) and <20% for the samples not detected in PCR with no long runs of identical nucleotides (C). The sequence of interest of B. miyamotoi is a very short sequence (94bp). When sequencing small sequences, the first bases may not be recognized by the sequencer because of the brevity of the sequence, which explains why for some positive samples, sequencing only returns 60% of the bases of the sequence.
