Results of AMOVA to explore the spatial population structure in host species ( Daphnia galeata )
| Source of variation | df | Percent variation | P -value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Among lakes | 2 | 13.9 | <0.001 |
| Among individuals, within lake | 155 | 86.1 |
Calculations were based on the frequency of alleles at 10 microsatellite loci in Daphnia host DNA. DNA was extracted from D. galeata representing a random host population sample, i.e., consisting of uninfected and infected individuals originating from three lakes sampled in 2004 (Římov, Vír and Želivka; see Table 1).
