The difference in <i>Rickettsia</i> infection rates in <i>H</i>. <i>flava</i> haplotype groups and a table showing the distribution of <i>Rickettsia</i>-infected and uninfected <i>H</i>. <i>flava</i> in each genetic groups as shown in S2 Fig <i>(H</i>. <i>flava</i> median-joining network).

The results of the z-score test for two populations proportions at p < 0.05 showed no significant difference between the Rickettsia detection rate in haplotype groups 1 and 2. The Welch t-test at p < 0.05 revealed no significant difference in the mean altitude of the two groups. (XLSX)
