Abstract excerpt
Schistosoma mansoni is an endoparasite causing a serious human disease called schistosomiasis. The quantification of parasite genetic diversity is an essential component to understand schistosomiasis epidemiology and disease transmission patterns but some studies on parasite genetic diversity are performed using parasite laboratory strains. However, a potential discrepancy in level of genetic variation between...
