Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) analysis of the MLVA-16 profiles of three Brucella abortus biovar three genotypes isolated from cattle in Tanzania, compared with Brucella abortus biovar three strains isolated worldwide. MLVA profiles were determined for a selection of 28 B. abortus biovar 3 genotypes including the Tulya reference strain (MLVA profiles derived from publicly available data (http://mlva.u-psud.fr/), four recent Belgian isolates) and the three Tanzanian isolates. Clustering by minimum spanning tree was performed with Bionumerics. Circles outline the genetic profiles of strains. Numbers on the connecting lines refer to the number of markers differing between samples. The size of the circles is proportional to the number of strains (1 or 2) bearing the same genetic profile
