Figure 6. Spatial distribution of 125 Francisella tularensis isolates for which information on originating county was available. Locations (colored circles) correspond to county centroids. More than 1 subspecies was isolated from some counties in California (Alameda, Contra Costa, Los Angeles, San Luis Obispo, and Santa Cruz) and Wyoming (Natrona) (see Figures 1–3). In some cases, a single circle may represent instances where >1 sample of a given subspecies or genotypic group was isolated from a single county. Two isolates with county information, 1 from northern British Columbia and 1 from Alaska, are not shown.
