Tests of neutrality for pfatp6 gene (dN/dS, Tajima’s D, Fu and Li’s F* and D* statistics, and McDonald-Kreitman test) among P. falciparum populations from different regions of the world.

Fu & Li's D* and F*: NS – not significant; NA – not available; * – significant, PMcDonald-Kreitman test: Ps, Pn – synonymous and nonsynonymous polymorphic sites within P. falciparum; Ds, Dn – synonymous and nonsynonymous fixed nucleotide differences between species; P – value of Fisher’s Exact tests; NI – neutrality index. Significant P values are highlighted in bold.1Sequences obtained in this study,2Sequences from Tanabe et al. (2004).
