Characteristics of the 14 microsatellite markers used for population analysis of Mediterranean Leishmania infantum

A, number of alleles; n, sample size; Ho, observed heterozygosity; He, expected heterozygosity; FIS, inbreeding coefficient. Two of the four heterozygous strains with mixed MON-1/non-MON-1 alleles (PT2(I) and INF-32) have been removed from the data set, 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.
