Neighbor-joining circular unrooted tree showing the relationship between Coxiella burnetii genotypes described in study of new genotype of C. burnetii causing epizootic Q fever outbreak in rodents, northern Senegal. MST75 and MST76 (red) were compared with genotypes already found in Senegal, MST19 and MST6 (blue), and other genotypes. The analysis involved 64 nt sequences. All positions containing gaps and missing data were eliminated. There were a total of 4,692 positions in the final dataset. Evolutionary analyses were conducted in MEGA7 (https://www.megasoftware.net). MST, multispacer sequence typing.
