Abstract excerpt
Allozyme variation within and among populations of 3 species of the genus Lecithochirium (Trematoda: Hemiuridae) was studied by starch gel electrophoresis. In total, 19 loci were analysed in 7 populations. The level of genetic variability was relatively high in all populations. The percentage of polymorphic loci (0.95 criterion) observed per population varied from 21.0% to 55.5%, and expected heterozygosity...
