Values in parentheses are 95% confidence intervals. Values in bold are statistically significant. CWRU = Case Western Reserve University.

Stools aggregated from 8 children in São Bartolomeu in 2004. MA1, 2, and 3 were component populations composed of genotyped infrapopulations from 12 persons. Markers SMMS 2, 3, and 17 were excluded from comparison for Itacaranhas because of poor amplification.
