Abstract excerpt
To examine the extent of genetic variation in Biomphalaria glabrata, the intermediate host of Schistosoma mansoni, specimens from seven Brazilian isolates were studied. Regions of genomic DNA were amplified using short, arbitrarily selected oligonucleotide primers under low-stringency conditions (random amplified polymorphic DNAs--RAPDs) and analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by silver...
