Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial DNA was analyzed from 6 strains of Schistosoma mansoni with 12 restriction enzymes, corresponding to 40 restriction sites or about 1.5% of the coding region. An extensive length polymorphism among strains of S. mansoni was found, with size ranging from 16,500 bp to 24,900 bp. Five r...
