Table 4. Snn statistics for the pvmsp-1 42 kDa region and the pvcsp central repeat region.

Snn values approaching 1 indicate genetic isolation while values near 0.5 indicate that two geographically disparate populations may approximate panmixia. Global and pairwise Snn values show stronger geographic clustering among pvcsp VK210 and VK247 repeats than among pvmsp-1 42 kDa regions.

* indicates significance to (p≤0.05) after Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons.
