  1. N, number of schistosome samples; A, average (minimum, maximum) number of alleles across all loci; Ar, mean (+ 95% CI) allelic richness across all loci; Ho, mean (+ 95% CI) observed heterozygosity across all loci; He, mean (+ 95% CI) estimated heterozygosity across all loci; PHWE, probability of deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium; FIS, mean (+ 95% CI) fixation index across all loci
