Phylogeography of M. leprae strains. Maximum parsimony tree of 259 genomes of M. leprae built in MEGA 7. Support values were obtained by bootstrapping 500 replicates. Branch lengths are proportional to nucleotide substitutions. The tree is rooted using M. lepromatosis. The strains from Bangladesh are shown in red and their exact organization in the tree is shown in the two zoomed sections of the genotypes 1A-B and 1D. Strains with an A at SNP61425 in the esxA gene are shown in green. The specific 1B-Bangladesh genotype/cluster of Bangladesh strains is shown in blue.
