<p>Epidemiologically linked group (ELG)-16, exemplifying the diversity in genotypes that can be observed among anthrax cases despite their occurrence in close spatio-temporal proximity.</p>

A total of 18 sequences were obtained from eight cases, representing both livestock and wildlife. Top left: coloured circles represent the species sampled, with size of the circle indicating the number of sequences. Centre: coloured circles indicate the SNP profiles assigned. Bottom right: geographic context, with the white star indicating the location of ELG-16 within Olbalbal Ward, Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
