Cluster 5: Evidence of local adaptation and regional dissemination. Maximum clade credibility tree of 129 cluster 5 isolates following masking of recombination. The first column to the right of the tree is coloured by sampled country (key left upper corner: AUS, Australia; BEL, Belgium; DEU, Germany; DNK, Denmark; ESP, Spain; EU, European Union; NLD, Netherlands). The subsequent column or heatmap depicts admixture events across the core genes of isolates coloured by “donating” cluster (key below heatmap). Similar background patterns of admixture are observed, accompanied by evidence of ongoing recombination at regional levels. Two such instances linked to Denmark and Germany are highlighted by boxes A and B respectively. Time scale is shown on the y-axis below the phylogeny
