Fig. 1From: Isolation, discrimination, and molecular detection of Listeria species from slaughtered cattle in Namwala District, ZambiaPhylogenetic tree. Comprising of 35 sequences (19 obtained in this study and 16 downloaded sequences from (GenBank) based on 370Â bp partial nucleotide sequences of the prs gene of Listeria. The tree was inferred using the Neighbor-joining method with 1000 bootstrap replicates as a confidence interval. The Maximum Composite likelihood method was used to compute the evolutionary distances with all ambiguous positions for each sequence pair removed. The color codes and number at the end of the study sequences represent the abattoir of origin and the season of sampling is designated as D; dry season and W; wet seasonBack to article page
