Phylogenetic analysis of the most closely related Mycobacterium bovis isolates associated with human tuberculosis cases — Michigan, 2002–2017 Abbreviation: SNP = single nucleotide polymorphism. * The most recent common ancestor is thought to have spilled over into the local deer population from livestock at least one time during 1940–1960. All human cases are within 0–1 SNP of sharing a common ancestor with a deer isolate. Numerals denote multiple identical isolates (for example, identical M. bovis isolates from 5 deer and 1 other animal).
