Abstract excerpt
Dideoxy sequencing with reverse transcriptase and universal primers was used to obtain partial sequences of the 18S rRNAs from the promastigote and amastigote life-cycle stages of L. enriettii. Approximately 1400 nucleotides of sequence from the two stages were compared. Unlike Plasmodium berghei, in which 18S rRNAs from the mosquito stage and the mammalian stage of the life cycle are only 96.5% similar, the...
