Abstract excerpt

Schistosoma japonicum from the People's Republic of China is considered to represent a single species comprising either 1 or 4 'strains'. We conducted an allozyme electrophoretic study to examine the extent of genetic variation in S. japonicum from mainland China. The allelic profiles of S. japonicum from 7 provinces were established at 16 enzyme loci. S. japonicum from Sichuan had 3-5 (19-31%) fixed differences...
