Widespread heteroplasmy in schistosomes makes an mtVNTR marker "nearsighted".

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondrial markers are often hailed as the preferred DNA elements for analyses of population subdivision. To this end we have employed a mitochondrial repeat element to examine the population structure in Schistosoma mansoni (human blood flukes). Schistosome isolates were collected from each of 21 different patients representing seven different areas of a Brazilian village. These parasite isolates demonstrate...
