Abstract excerpt
A total of 18 enzymes (encoded by 20 loci) from Paragonimus heterotremus collected at a local area in Saraburi, Thailand, were electrophoretically compared with those from the three Japanese species P. ohirai, P. miyazaki and P. westermani using horizontal starch-gel electrophoresis. Relative genetic distances between these species were quantified. The Thai P. heterotremus was found to be most closely related to...
