*Values represent findings for reference clones derived from a range of representative hosts and vectors across South America and, in parentheses, clones isolated from humans, triatomine vectors, and sylvatic mammalian hosts in northern Colombia. Values were calculated from microsatellite data for 25 analyzed loci. Ar, allelic richness.
†Across all loci.
