![Spatial cluster detection results of Mycobacterium ulcerans genotypes for Buruli ulcer patients in Benin and Nigeria. A) Two significant areas detected along the Ouémé river. Three regions of interests are shown on the map. Two (northern Ouémé and southern Ouémé) show significant spatial clustering of genotypes; a nonsignificant area (Plateau) is given for reference. B) Composition of these 3 clusters, compared with the composition that would be expected from a random distribution.](/eid/images/19-0573-F5.jpg)
