Abstract excerpt
The genetic diversity of two samples of Cestoda (Bothriocephalus funiculus, Renaud and Gabrion, 1984) parasitizing two sympatric teleostean species was assessed using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). A total of 72 Bothriocephalus were analyzed individually, and electrophoretic analysis of the amplification products of 65 primers among the 68 tested revealed monomorphic patterns, reflecting the close...
