Variance effective population size of P. falciparum in Ndirande, Blantyre, Malawi.

Comparison	ML Ne	Pollak Ne	Nei/Tajima Ne	Jorde/Ryman Ne
2006 vs 2007	∞ [70–∞]	73 [22–839]	82 [24–3160]	72 [36–120]
2007 vs 2008	∞ [123–∞]	121 [30–∞]	141 [32–∞]	125 [61–211]
2008 vs 2012	361 [107–∞]	125 [48–346]	141 [52–423]	129 [63–218]

ML N_e is the variance effective population size (N_eV) estimated using the pseudo-maximum likelihood method. Pollak N_e, Nei/Tajima N_e and Jorde/Ryman N_e are the different measures of the variance effective population size estimated using the moments-based temporal methods. Figures in square brackets are 95% confidence intervals for N_eV.
