Additional File 1:

Globally important human pathogens. Pathogens are indicated on the phylogenetic charts when they cause at least 0.3 or more deaths per year per hundred thousand population in either developed or developing nations according to WHO estimates for the year 2,000. Medically important organism cause fewer deaths than this threshold, but are considered important agents in western medicine [3,100-104].
