Neutral and MHC-linked microsatellite loci summary statistics for diseased (shaded rows) and healthy devils.

A single locus (Sh-I07) displays a departure from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for healthy devils only. Numbers of alleles and levels of heterozygosity are very similar for healthy and DFTD infected devils though with a slight trend for higher heterozygosity in infected devils.*denotes statically significant departure from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE). FIS indicates homozygote (+ve) or heterozygote (−ve) excess. A is the number of alleles. Ho/He is observed and expected heterozygosities.
