Nucleotide diversity analysis. Sliding window analysis of nucleotide diversity (Pi) per site to compare genetic diversity in four genes of the Rh5 invasion complex of twenty-six samples obtained from Lake Victoria region. (A) pfama1, (B) pfripr, (C) pfrh5, and (D) pfadsl (E) pfcyrpa (F) pfp113. Pi is nucleotide diversity calculated using DnaSP ver. 6.1 with a window length of 100 bases and a step size of 25 bases, plotted against the window length’s midpoint. The highlighted region indicates the basigin – PfRh5 binding residues and protein-protein interactions regions for PfRipr, PfCyrpa, and PfP113.
