Fig. 2.— — Distribution of polymorphism and divergence. Distributions of summary statistics per loci (fraction of loci) of genetic diversity estimated for Plasmodium vivax: (a) Watterson’s theta (θ_w), which is a measure of the effective population size within the population and the mutation rate; (b) the average nucleotide pairwise difference between sequences (π); (c) Tajima’s D, which is a statistics that measures deviations from the neutral expectation under which θ_w and π are expected to be equal; and (d) the distribution of Jukes–Cantor corrected divergence between P. vivax and Plasmodium cynomolgi.
