Characterization of the 4 populations found by STRUCTURE (K = 4) analysis of 139 strains of Mediterranean L. infantum

aThe two strains with mixed MON-1/non-MON-1 alleles (INF-32, PT2(I)) have been excluded. INF-35 (MON-108) is part of the MON-1 populations. In case of ES9(III) and ES10(III) only the non-MON-1 genotype has been considered, as these strains have been identified as MON-24 by MLEE.b3 strains from Madrid (ES1(I), ES3(I), ES6(I)) originally identified as MON-1 clearly group with the non-MON-1 population and have been considered as part of the non-MON-1 population 4. The first number in the bracket indicates the number of strains from a given focus belonging to the respective population, the second one the overall number of strains from a given focus. N, number of strains; P, proportion of polymorphic loci; MNA, mean number of alleles; Ho, observed heterozygosity; He, expected heterozygosity; FIS, inbreeding coefficient; NAu, number of unique alleles; IA-Index of association.
