* Number of clones included in the analysis; n, number; AS, Asutsuare; OB, Obom. The data was analyzed as genotype as well as binary data. Only monoclonal and biclonal samples were included in the analysis for the genotype dataset and parasite clones with two equally dominant alleles at a single locus were separated. All samples were included in the binary analysis, and alleles were scored as present or absent.
