Abstract excerpt

Previously, the species complex Oncomelania hupensis, individuals of which act as intermediate hosts for the human bloodfluke Schistosoma japonicum, has been characterised by morphological and isoenzyme criteria. We have examined genetic variation between and within three subspecies of Oncomelani...
