Abstract excerpt
The accurate characterization of Schistosoma japonicum has important implications for analyzing genetic variation and would provide basic data for disease control. Previous studies using proteins, coding sequences, and especially antigen-coding genes showed lower genetic variation among S. japonicum isolates from mainland China. Therefore, the present study focused on variations in intron sequences of...
