Nucleotide diversity and population differentiation within CSP, TRAP, and SERA2 as measured with amplicon sequencing. a Graphs of pairwise nucleotide diversity (π) present the mean ± 1 S.D. across all five study sites. b Graphs of population differentiation show the mean ± 1 S.D. of pairwise FST values between western and eastern study sites. Statistics were calculated using SNPs within overlapping 10-nt windows with a step size of 5 nt. The colored bars in the CSP graph mark three previously identified regions of high diversity: DV10 (blue), Th2R (green), and Th3R (yellow)
