Figure 3: Graphical representation of infection group composition.
From: Multiple independent transmission cycles of a tick-borne pathogen within a local host community
The graph includes all individual ticks and hosts for which sequences found in at least one of the rplB or ospC genotype groups (GGs) were obtained. Distinct communities of individuals displaying similar infection patterns (i.e., infection groups, or IGs in the text) were identified using a “greedy approach”; they are graphed in different colors and can be composed of one or more ticks or hosts. Link thickness is proportional to the number of genotypes shared by the individuals of metagroup pairs.
