Genetic diversity of P. vivax populations from the north coast of Papua New Guinea. Genetic diversity was measured for four catchment areas on the north coast of Papua New Guinea using a SNP nucleotide diversity (π), which was measured by calculating the average number of pairwise differences at assayed SNPs between all members of sample using DnaSP Version 5.0 [65]; b Microsatellite Expected Heterozygosity (He = [n/(n-1)] [(1- Σp 2i )] where n is the number of isolates sampled and pi is the allele frequency at the ith loci) using as FSTAT software version 2.9.4 [67]; c SNP barcode diversity and d microsatellite haplotype diversity. For c and d, box plots show the results from another genetic diversity metric, 1-mean pairwise allele sharing. The variation in the box and median distribution indicates variability in genotype relatedness amongst pairs of genotypes. The analysis was done using genetic distance matrix for 1-PS generated by the ‘dist. gene’ command in “Ape” R package
