  1. N total number of different -sized fragments (alleles), representing intra allelic diversity, SR range of fragment sizes in bp, A the most dominant fragment with its frequency of occurrence (Freq) in brackets, ND none detected, (T) total number of fragments detected for the allelic family. A number of samples were infected with mixed infections and contained either parasites belonging to more than one allelic family, multiple variants of the same allelic family or a mixture of both
