Haplotype networks based on statistical parsimony using partial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 sequences.

The network above (a) comprises all sequences from nine African countries obtained during this study or a previous study [38]. For each phylogeographic group, the number of sequences (Nseq), the number of haplotypes (Nhap), the nucleotide diversity (Π) and the haplotype diversity (h) with standard deviations (SD) are given. The network below (b) comprises sequences obtained from different villages in Northwest Senegal (1993–2007), Southeast Senegal (2011) and Southwest Mali (2007). Each pie diagram represents a haplotype (i.e. unique sequence) and dots represent haplotypes that were either not sampled or went extinct and can thus be regarded as mutational steps. The sizes of the pie diagrams are in relation to the log transformed number of sequences that represent the respective haplotypes, and the colors indicate the location or year of sampling.
