Figure 8

Difference in Mycobacterium ulcerans genotype distribution between Ogun State (Nigeria) and Benin. A) Locations of patients and the genotypes of the strains. B) Composition of the cluster in the Ogun area compared with the composition that would be expected from a random distribution. The genotype distribution of the Ogun was fundamentally different from those in Benin.
