Multidimensional scaling analysis of genetic structure.
Multidimensional scaling analysis of relationships among host villages based on genetic differentiation. We had the power to detect significant genetic differentiation between host villages 91% of the time when it existed [47]. Power for ΦST-V was <50% given a cut off of ΦST-V = 0. To have power equal to 90% we treated all values of ΦST-V relative to 0.0177 as undifferentiated. The X-axis and Y-axis represent the percent of variation explained by each dimension. A) ΦST-V the measure of genetic differentiation based on sequence distance [28] and B) DJ-V the measure of genetic differentiation based on allele frequencies [31].
