Figure 1

Geographic origin of samples analyzed in study of Mycobacterium leprae in armadillo tissue samples from US museums (n = 8 countries). We obtained coordinates from the tissue metadata or georeferenced them manually by using Google Earth (https://earth.google.com). Of the 2 samples suitable for whole-genome sequencing, 1, USA-am-109, lacked spatial detail from which to obtain coordinates and is not included on the map, along with 4 additional samples. The other sample that was sequenced, USA-am-209, is indicated with an arrow and the number in a red square.
