Genetic diversity parameters of Spongospora subterranea f.sp. subterranea within the sampled regions, determined using six microsatellite markers.

aN = Sample size.bcnum = Number of multilocus genotypes.cssg = Site-specific genotypes; clones specific to a region and not shared with other regions.dcf = Clonal fraction; proportion of individual samples originating from asexual reproduction.eG = Nei’s corrected diversity (genotypic diversity).fH = Nei’s Gene Diversity.gIA = Index of association to tests the null hypothesis of linkage equilibrium for multilocus data. Significance of deviation from equilibrium expectations are indicated by asterisks. *, p
