Abstract excerpt
Fourteen enzymes of Ascaris lumbricoides were analysed electrophoretically on cellulose acetate plates; 8 stained well and 3 were found to be polymorphic. Allelic and genotypic frequencies at the 3 polymorphic enzyme loci, Mpi, Pgi and 6-Pgd, were determined in a sample of 117 worms from 8 children living in different houses in an urban slum in Bangladesh. Allele frequencies in samples of parasites from the...
