Table 2 Hierarchical analysis of parasite genetic diversity overall and per locus at three levels: within villages (FVil/Total), within hosts (FPop/Vil) and within individual parasites (FPar/Pop)

From: Inbreeding within human Schistosoma mansoni: do host-specific factors shape the genetic composition of parasite populations?

  1. Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; NA, not applicable.
  2. Standardized estimates of genetic differentiation are given for FVil/Total and FPop/Vil after recoding the data following Meirmans (2006). Note that recoding the data does not change within population diversities; the estimate of FPar/Pop therefore remains the same. Number of alleles (# Alleles) are given per locus and overall. Significance was indicated with * when P<0.05 and ** when P<0.002 (that is, Bonferroni corrected).
