Landscape Genetics Reveals Focal Transmission of a Human Macroparasite (original) (raw)
Figure 3
Spatial autocorrelation analysis showing nearby houses share genetically related parasites.
Distance classes up to 540 m show higher parasite genetic similarity compared to values generated from random allocation of households among geographic locations (95% upper and lower confidence values). This result was also found when a single parasite was sampled from each household (Fig. S5), demonstrating that this result is not driven by a small number of heavily infected households.
