Table 3.

The most likely model was compared with constant and exponential models. The absence of support for the different demographic models in the purged seroresistant population is likely due to its recent origin and lack of polymorphisms. For details, please refer to Pybus and Rambaut (2002). plog, piecewise logistic growth; pexpan, piecewise expansion growth; Expo, exponential.
