(1) The number of kokanee from each location used for the qPCR assay testing the relative proportion of Flavobacterium sp. DNA infesting the host tissue; (2) The number of cloned Flavobacterium sp. amplicons that were sequenced from each sample location, and the number of different haplotypes observed at each location (in parentheses). Reads were cloned from genomic DNA extracted from a single kokanee at each sample location.
