CBN: conformal Bayesian network; unknown: designates patterns with signatures that do not belong to any of the major lineages/sublineages described in the SITVIT2 database. Forty-five of the total 89 strains were identified as orphan strains in the present study and shown in Table 3. The orphan strains belonged to four lineages including Euro-American, East-African Indian, M. africanum, and Indo-Oceanic lineages.
