a
Certain STR types were not detected in these Bangladeshi samples but have been found in samples from elsewhere in the world.
b
Sample groups: As, asymptomatic; DD, diarrhea/dysentery; and LA, liver abscess. FST, Wright's F statistic. FST values are the population pairwise FSTs (calculated by using the Arlequin software package), with significant population differentiation indicated by ** (P < 0.01).
