Table 2 Three proposed 7-locus MLST schemas for M. hominis: The three schemas contain variations of 9 genes that confer phylogenetic relationships similar to those found using whole genome SNPs. Schemas B and C show higher marginal diversity in Hunter-Gaston diversity indicex than schema A. Whereas, schema A shows lowest dN/dS ratio among the three
