Figure 1. Geo-temporal distribution of isolates within distal sublineages of meningococcal lineage 11.1.The inset (top-right) depicts a cgMLST (1546 loci) neighbor-net phylogenetic network of all 750 geo-temporally diverse cc11 isolates and two non-cc11 isolates (cc8 and cc41/44) highlighting the distal region of lineage 11.1 that bifurcates into two sublineages. Isolates corresponding to this region underwent a separate cgMLST (1546 loci) comparison to generate the neighbor-net network in the main figure. Both sublineages contained several clusters, each relating to a noteworthy episode of MenW disease. One lineage included the strain relating to the Hajj outbreak of 2000 onwards (Anglo-French Hajj strain), the expansion of endemic MenW:cc11 disease in South Africa from 2003 (endemic South African Strain) and a period of MenW:cc11 epidemics in sub-Saharan Africa (Burkina Faso/North African Strains). The other sublineage contained clusters relating to expanding endemic MenW:cc11 disease in South America and the U.K. (the South American/U.K. strain). Dots relate to individual cases. The scale bar indicates the number of loci differing among the 1546 compared. Figure adapted from of Ref.
