Abstract excerpt
The genetic diversity of liver fluke populations in three different countries from Eastern Europe (Greece, Bulgaria, and Poland) was determined and compared with available data from other countries. Specifically, SNPs from regions of two nuclear genes, 28S rDNA, β-tubulin 3 and an informative region of the mitochondrial genome were examined. Two major lineages for the 28S rDNA gene based on the highly polymorphic...
