Fig. 2
Within-host and population diversity of malaria parasite isolates collected during the prevalence survey, a population level genetic diversity measured as the distribution of heterozygosity in 26 microsatellites. The dashed red line indicates the mean heterozygosity = 0.68. Values for He range from 0–1, with 0 representing no diversity and 1 representing 100% of alleles being different. b Complexity of the infections as measured by number of clones present by source locality with Mozambique and c pairwise genetic relatedness between samples, calculated using identity by state (IBS) metric including all alleles detected in polyclonal samples. A single highly related pair (genetic relatedness > 0.6) was identified and is shown in red
