| Population (n) | Standardized Index of Association, ISA (p value) |
|---|---|
| Bamunka (56) | 0.3637 (0.001) |
| Bambalang (28) | 0.2487 (0.005) |
| Bamukumbit (22) | 0.5154 (0.001) |
| Mile 1 (59) | 0.0746 (0.021) |
| Bota (34) | 0.1720 (0.013) |
| Bonadikombo (33) | 0.0315 (0.703) |
| Total (232) | 0.1628 (0.001) |
n = number of isolates; ISA = standardized index of association. The Monte Carlo method was used to test the significance of LD.
