Abstract excerpt
The current paucity of data on the genetic structure of parasitic helminth populations results partly from the lack of a suitable molecular technique for assigning genotypes to small individuals. This report describes the cloning of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from a small parasitic nematode, Ostertagia ostertagi, and the potential use of this cloned mtDNA as a hybridization probe to detect genetic variation...
