Molecular haplotyping and Bartonella infection prevalence in bat flies

Bat host species	Bat fly species	Location	Samples	Haplotyped	Bartonella positive	Prevalence
Eidolon helvum	Cyclopodia greefi	Ghana	158	50	131	0.83 (0.76–0.88)
		Bioko	176	52	113	0.64 (0.57–0.71)
		Príncipe	81	55	67	0.83 (0.73–0.89)
		São Tomé	165	95	137	0.83 (0.77–0.88)
		Annobón	131	96	121	0.92 (0.87–0.96)
Rousettus aegyptiacus	Eucampsipoda africana	Ghana	44	41	19	0.42 (0.29–0.57)
		Príncipe	10	10	4	0.4 (0.17–0.69)
		São Tomé	1	1	1	1 (0.21–1)
	Dipseliopoda biannulata	Ghana	1	1	0	0 (0–0.79)

Samples were considered successfully haplotyped if 1 or both mitochondrial loci were successfully sequenced. Samples were considered positive for Bartonella bacteria if 1 or more genetic markers produced a sequence confirmed as Bartonella. Binomial 95% confidence intervals for prevalence were estimated using Wilson score intervals.
