Logistic regression analysis of risk factors associated with microsporidiosis among asymptomatic Aboriginal population.

<p>Logistic regression analysis of risk factors associated with microsporidiosis among asymptomatic Aboriginal population.</p

Prevalence of microsporidial infection among asymptomatic Aboriginal according to age groups and gender.

<p><i>n</i> = Number examined.</p

Phylogenetic tree of the SSU-rDNA gene sequences of <i>Blastocystis</i> isolates as inferred using the neighbour-joining method.

<p>Isolate or strain names are as provided in Genbank as available, followed by accession numbers in parentheses. Sequences generated in this study (designated ‘LM(S), LF(S)’ followed by clones ‘^a,b,c,d’) are in red font. <i>Proteromonas </i><i>lacerate</i> (accession number U37108) served as the out-group. Bootstrap values (%) are indicated at the internal nodes (1,000 replicates). Bootstrap values of less than 50% are not shown.</p

Potential risk factors associated with microsporidial infection among asymptomatic Aboriginal population (univariate analysis, <i>n</i> = 447).
