Phylogenic placement of the Mycobacterium bovis isolates. The M. bovis AF2122/97 sequence was used as a reference for single-nucleotide polymorphism analysis (GenBank accession no. NC_002945.3).The tree was derived from an unweighted pair-grouping method analysis algorithm by using DNA fragment sequence analysis. Numbers on branches represent bootstrap percentages from 500 replicates. M. canettii was used as the outgroup. Evolutionary analyses were performed by using MEGA6 software (http://www.m

Symbols indicate M. bovis isolates with identical genotypes according to mycobacterial interspersed repetitive units–variable number of tandem repeats. Scale bar indicates mean distances between strains according to base substitutions (%). CR, Costa Rica; GUA, Guatemala, PTY, Coclé, Panama.
