Geographical distribution across the districts of the six bTB-affected regions of mainland Portugal during the period 2002 to 2009 (joint results from this study and from reference 3) of M. bovis spoligotype SB0121 (•) and of strains with spoligotyping patterns that differ from the previous one by the absence of one spacer (strains SB0119 [○], SB1090 [▪], SB1095 [□], SB0295 [⧫], SB122 [*], SB1064 [▵], SB0848 [⋄], SB1093 [▴]). The geographical regions are indicated by the thick lines, while the thin lines indicate the districts.
