Spatial cluster detection results of Mycobacterium ulcerans genotype 8 for Buruli ulcer patients in Benin and Nigeria. Genotype 8 population was identified in 2 clusters along the Ouémé River. A) Phylogenetic tree of genotype 8 reveals the presence of potentially emerging genotypes. B) Location of the clusters. The analysis shows 2 significant clusters where specific subgenotypes are overrepresented compared to outside of these areas. C) Composition of these 2 clusters compared with the composit

Figure 6. Spatial cluster detection results of Mycobacterium ulcerans genotype 8 for Buruli ulcer patients in Benin and Nigeria. Genotype 8 population was identified in 2 clusters along the Ouémé River. A) Phylogenetic tree of genotype 8 reveals the presence of potentially emerging genotypes. B) Location of the clusters. The analysis shows 2 significant clusters where specific subgenotypes are overrepresented compared to outside of these areas. C) Composition of these 2 clusters compared with the composition that would be expected from a random distribution.
