  1. Abbreviation: Note: Most abundant Labr-DRB* alleles (frequency ≥ 5 individuals). Data are based on multivariate generalized linear mixed models: full models for (a) nematode prevalence and (b) nematode infection intensity. β ± SE, the coefficient ± standard error: t t-value, P p significance value.
