Abstract excerpt
The intergenic spacer (IGS) between the 28S and 18S ribosomal RNA genes was PCR-amplified, sequenced and characterized for Schistosoma japonicum from mainland China, and compared with those of other Schistosoma species. Excluding flanking portions of the 28S and 18S genes, the IGS in the longest sequenced amplicon from S. japonicum IGS was 1457bp in length. However, intra-specific and intra-individual variation...
