Multilocus LD values from PNG and Tetere 2004 populations are published elsewhere [35]. Complete and unique haplotypes only were used for the analysis, by discarding all but one of the seven clonal haplotypes identified. n = number of haplotypes used in the analysis. IAS = Index of Association from LIAN analysis, MOI = multiplicity of infection, n.a. = not available due to sample size constraints, n.d. = not done.
