a Comparison of the fragment length between the five clades; Clade A (n  =  9), Clade B (n  =  31), Clade C (n  =  17), Clade D (n  =  532), and Clade E (n  =  653) was conducted using pairwise two-sided Mann–Whitney tests with Benjamini–Hochberg adjustment for multiple comparisons. Boxplots show the median (centre line), interquartile range (box bounds = 25th and 75th percentiles), and whiskers indicating the 95% CI. b ROC curve showing the performance of a random forest model built using ITS2 fragment length, evaluated with a leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV) approach. c Confusion matrix showing the class distribution of ITS2 fragment lengths from each Trichuris species. bp: base pair.
