Abstract excerpt
Recent systematic studies of Opisthorchis viverrini based on multilocus enzyme electrophoresis (MEE) have shown that there are at least five genetic groups and possibly two cryptic species occurring in Thailand and Lao PDR each associated with a specific wetland system. A study based on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) gene analyses of an O. viverrini population from Savannakhet (SV, Lao PDR) clustered with several...
