Data display network showing the genetic diversity of 32 Leishmania braziliensis (according to the multilocus enzyme electrophoresis–based taxonomy) compared with 5 strains from clinical samples (boldface) obtained from visitors to the Amazonian forest region of French Guiana. The strains were compared at 4 genomic loci (locus 03.0980, 10.0560, 31.0280 and 31.2610) as previously described (3). The concatenated nucleotide sequences (2,610 bp) were duplicated to avoid information loss due to heterozygous positions (e.g., A to AA or Y to CT). Neighbor-Net analysis was performed with SplitsTree version 4.11.3 (http://splitstree.org/) by using p-distances and equal edge lengths (4). Two L. guyanensis strains were used as an outgroup. The inset represents the genetic distance between L. guyanensis and L. braziliensis. Scale bar indicates evolutionary distance.
