Table 2.
Estimates of FST based on the SSU-rDNA variation observed between different geographical populations of the parasite Blastocystis ST3.
| Population | Morelos | Latin America | Eurasia |
|---|---|---|---|
| Morelos | ------ | ||
| Latin America | 0.04165ns | ------ | |
| Eurasia | 0.09164ns | 0.05975ns | ------ |
Latin America: Blastocystis populations of North and South America (i.e., Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru, and Argentina), except that of Morelos. Eurasia: Blastocystis populations of Europe and Asia (i.e., Nepal, Switzerland, Iraq, Italy, and France). Probability obtained by a permutation test with 50,000 replicates. ns: not significant.
