Distribution of M. leprae genotypes in Bangladesh. Map of Bangladesh including markers indicating the residence of every subject with at least one sample genotyped for M. leprae (A), and zoomed into the area of interest (B). Each marker indicates an individual for whom M. leprae genotype was determined, either from slit skin smear, nasal swab or both samples. Genotype 1A is shown in green, 1B-Bangladesh in orange, 1D in blue, 1D-esxA in purple and 1* in white. 1D-esxA is 1D subtype containing an A at SNP61425 in the esxA gene, formerly grouped as 1C (Monot et al., 2009; Truman et al., 2011). 1* are samples with genotype 1 for which the subtype could not be determined. The figure was drawn in R (v3.4.3) with the package leaflet (v2.0.2) using maps from Esri – National Geographic with permission.
