Population genomics reveals the expansion of highly inbred Plasmodium vivax lineages in the main malaria hotspot of Brazil (original) (raw)
Fig 4
Connectivity networks inferred by identity by descent analysis.
Data are shown (A) for the Plasmodium vivax population of Mâncio Lima (ML) and (B) across the populations from ML, Cruzeiro do Sul (CS), and Acrelândia (AC), all in northwestern Brazil. Edges connecting parasite pairs indicate that >50% of their genomes are inferred to have descended from a common ancestor without intervening recombination within the past 25 generations. Isolates that do not share more than 50% of their genome with any other isolate are omitted from the network. Dates of collection of the ML samples are color-coded in panel A; note that the large cluster of genetically related isolates shown in panel A comprises parasites sampled between June 2014 (light blue) and August 2016 (dark blue).
