Pairwise FST values between Venezuelan sequences and other sites are highlighted. Sample sizes are in parenthesis. 1 = all Venezuela Pvama1data from both 1996 and 1997; 2 = all Venezuela Pfama1 data from 1996 only; 2 = [15]; 3 = [35] one sequence was ignored in the whole gene and DI analysis as it was not full length; 4 = [19]; 5 = [18]. Significant difference (P<0.05) indicated by bold text. Slightly negative numbers, indicated by italics, are biologically meaningless and are equivalent to FST = 0.000.
