Figure

Phylogenetic tree of Burkholderia pseudomallei genomes from Nigeria (orange text) and additional genomes originating from Africa, all retrieved from the European Nucleotide Archive database. Tree generated by FastTree (http://www.microbesonline.org/fasttree) based on core single-nucleotide polymorphisms distance and visualized with iTOL (https://itol.embl.de). Colors indicate countries of origin. Asterisk indicates a previously sequenced, traveler-associated strain. Scale bar indicates number of nucleotide substitutions per site.
