*When all 76 strains are analyzed 8 populations are identified by STRUCTURE (Fig. 2A). Here the genetic variability parameters of four of these populations are shown;
a
The two L. infantum non MON-1 populations are analyzed together;
**At a subsequent STRUCTURE analysis the TR/CY non MON-1 group splits into two subpopulations (TR non MON-1 and CY non MON-1, Fig. 2B), which are analyzed here;
b
The respective values when the hybrid EP59 strain is included in the respective population are given in parenthesis.
