Main Article

Figure 3

Molecular clock estimates of the date of the most recent common ancestor of US hound Leishmania samples. Shaded densities are normal kernel densities for the bootstrap estimates from PATHd8 analysis and from posterior samples for strict clock and relaxed clock with uncorrelated gamma-distributed rates in BEAST version 1.10.4 (https://beast.community). These distributions in each case represent the estimated uncertainty in the divergence date of Leishmania infantum isolates from US hounds and from Europe. Vertical lines in the same colors are at the means of each distribution.
