Variants differing from the original type sequences by a single amino acid (highlighted in bold and underlined) are grouped into the same repeat type.
§
Number of parasites carrying the variant repeat type (from a total of 67 parasite isolates).
¶
Indicates the number (%) of the variant type repeat within the total number of the corresponding type repeat identified in the 67 parasite isolates.
