Minimum spanning tree population structure of Campylobacter jejuni and C. coli isolated from humans with diarrhea and from poultry from Kenya and Tanzania, 2006–2017 (human) or 2016–2017 (poultry), based on core genome multilocus sequence types profiles. A) Plot colored by host (human or poultry) with CC indicated in each node; B) plot colored by CC with sequence type indicated in each node. Core-genome multilocus sequence type allele differences are indicated on each branch. CC, clonal complex; UA, unassigned.
