Examples of observed progenitors and recombined microsatellite haplotypes. A) Correlation of Pf msp1-B2 allelic families with individual microsatellite alleles in the population. Each microsatellite locus is identified on the horizontal, while the correlated Pf msp1-Block 2 main allelic family is indicated on the vertical. Letters under each microsatellite locus are indicative of individual alleles (repeat-lengths) ordered sequentially by frequency within the population. Colored blocks are used to indicate a correlation with a specific Pf msp1-Block 2 main allelic family and are identified in the legend. B) Examples of potential recombinants between two single-clone lineages. Illustrates the two most frequent single-clone infections that may have given rise to these six examples of complex infections (shown on the inlay) haplotypes by genomic shuffling (putative progenitor clones).
