Population structure of 227 sequence type 6964 Campylobacter jejuni isolates from humans and poultry, New Zealand, 2014–2016. The tree is the inferred midpoint rooted phylogeny of the isolates, including the reference 15AR0984 genome. The tips are colored by source of the C. jejuni isolate. The heatmap indicates the likelihoods of the presence of mobile elements including CJIE1 variant (cjie1_15AR0984), CJIEs 1–4, and the plasmid 15AR0984-m. Dark shading on the heatmap indicates 100% likelihood;
