Abstract excerpt
Naturally infected Biomphalaria glabrata snails were collected at two sites near Belo Horizonte, Brazil, and Schistosoma mansoni cercariae isolated from single snails were used to infect individual mice. Genetic comparison of single worm DNA was accomplished by hybridization of Southern blots to a polymorphic repetitive DNA element. Genetic profiles of parasite individuals revealed a diverse array of parasite...
