Genomic characterization of Yersinia pestis strains in a study of ecologic, geoclimatic, and genomic factors modulating plague epidemics in primary natural focus, Brazil. Phylogenetic tree was based on the 1,867 single-nucleotide variants identified in the core genome from 913 strains isolated in the Araripe Plateau and included in the analysis. The rings contain metadata regarding the epidemiologic features from the Araripe Plateau outbreaks (ring 1), the attributed geographic foci (ring 2), and genetic group provided in the NextStrain dataset (https://nextstrain.org) (ring 3). Brazil branches are colored according to their genetic subgroups. Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site.
