Abstract excerpt
Intraspecific genetic variation among 14 geographic isolates of Schistosoma mansoni was quantified using a molecular marker to examine individual genotypes. Genetic crosses demonstrated maternal inheritance of S. mansoni DNA element pSM750. This element revealed diagnostic banding profiles, which...
