Genetic diversity indices for schistosomes from live farm cattle and slaughtered cattle from abattoirs in Ferkessédougou, Côte d’Ivoire, based on 10 microsatellite loci
| Life stage | N | NH | A | Ar | Ho | He | PHWE | FIS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flukes | 80 | 42 | 12.7 | 9.83 | 0.652 | 0.787 | 5.4 × 10–13 | 0.188 |
| (5, 22) | (9.10–10.60) | (0.620–0.676) | (0.766–0.790) | (0.140–0.221) | ||||
| Miracidia | 29 | 29 | 9.9 | 8.50 | 0.509 | 0.772 | 1.6 × 10–22 | 0.379 |

N, number of schistosome samples (maximally two per host individual); NH, number of host individuals from which schistosomes were collected; A, average (minimum, maximum) number of alleles across loci; Ar, mean (+ 95% CI) allelic richness across loci; Ho, mean (+ 95% CI) observed heterozygosity across loci; He, mean (+ 95% CI) estimated heterozygosity across loci; PHWE, probability of deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (stars highlight significance at < 0.05); FIS, mean (+ 95% CI) fixation index across loci
