Ss: number of segregating sites, S: number of singleton sites, Ps: number of parsimony-informative sites, H: number of haplotypes, θ^W: Watterson estimator, π: nucleotide diversity. (SD): standard deviation. Worldwide genetic diversity: the analysis involved the reference sequences together with the Colombian sequences. Local genetic diversity: Analysis for the Colombian sequences.
