Genetic diversity and structure in Leishmania infantum populations from southeastern Europe revealed by microsatellite analysis

Table 3 Genetic diversity between and within MON-1 and MON-98 strains from Greece and Turkey based on the MLMT profiles in 14 analyzed markers

Population	n	Matches	P	A	H_e	H_o	F_IS

Nine identical genotypes (matches) were identified between MON-1 and MON-98 strains from Turkey (TR) and Greece (GR). The number in parenthesis includes two common genetic profiles found between MON-1 and MON-98 strains from Greece. n, number of analyzed strains per population; P, proportion of polymorphic loci; A, number of alleles per locus; H_e, Nei’s unbiased expected heterozygosity; H_o, observed heterozygosity; F_IS, inbreeding coefficient.
