Sex-specific genetic structure in Schistosoma mansoni: evolutionary and epidemiological implications.

Molecular ecology - 1 Jul 2002

Prugnolle F, De Meeûs T, Durand P, Sire C, Théron A

Abstract excerpt

We studied the population genetic structure of 360 and 1247 adult Schistosoma mansoni using seven microsatellite and seven random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers, respectively. Parasites were collected from their natural definitive host Rattus rattus in Guadeloupe (West Indies). We found a sex-specific genetic structure, a pattern never before reported in a parasitic organism. Male genotypes were more...
