marginally significantP = 0.03
There was a marginally significant positive correlation between (C) HLA-B population promiscuity level and intracellular pathogen diversity (Spearman’s rho: 0.34, P = 0.03) and (D) no significant correlation between extracellular pathogen diversity and HLA-B population promiscuity level (Spearman’s rho: 0.25, P = 0.12).
