Genetic diversity in parthenogenetic triploid Paragonimus westermani.

International journal for parasitology - 1 Sept 1999

van Herwerden L, Blair D, Agatsuma T

Abstract excerpt

Paragonimus westermani is a medically important foodborne trematode occurring throughout southeast Asia. We have used molecular techniques to test the hypothesis that the parthenogenetic triploid form of P. westermani has arisen only once. Sources of data for comparison were: (a) restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) of ribosomal internal transcribed spacers (ITS); and (b) 'fingerprint' patterns...
