  1. SMX southern Mexico, NE Northeast Nicaragua, NW Northwest Nicaragua, n number of isolates, D aspartic acid, T threonine, A alanine, Y tyrosine, F phenylalanine, N asparagine, M methionine, L leucine
  2. aSal I strain sequence; XM001613678
  3. bMutation detected in 2010 samples
  4. cThree samples had a nonsynonymous mutation (Rosita and Prinzapolka)
  5. An additional pvmdr1 fragment of 576 bp (codons 678–869) was identical to Sal I from samples obtained at NE (n = 63), NW (n = 17) in Nicaragua and SMX (n = 73), respectively
