Figure 2

Maximum-parsimony phylogeny constructed by using 10,443 putative single-nucleotide polymorphisms discovered from whole-genome sequences of 8 Francisella tularensis strains. Gray shading indicates the B.16 (biovar japonica) strain from Turkey (PHIT_FT049). Detailed methods are described in the Technical Appendix. Reference strains were retrieved from GenBank (Technical Appendix Table 2). Countries of origin are indicated as follows: FRA, France; JPN, Japan; RUS, Russia; SWE, Sweden; TUR, Turkey;
