Schematic diagrams of each functional domain between BoNT (C, CD, DC, D, and LC759602) in study of novel type C botulism strain in household outbreak, Japan. Gray shaded areas indicate the partial sequence of the reference bont/D gene, white areas indicate the partial sequence of the cont/C gene, and black areas indicate the partial sequence of the reference bont/DC gene. BoNT, botulism neurotoxin.
