Abstract excerpt

A polymerase chain reaction-based polymorphic assay procedure (RAPD) was used to study the genetic diversity of intermediate host snails within the genus Bulinus. Genetic differentiation was detected between two closely related species: Bulinus globosus and Bulinus umbilicatus. Evidence is presen...
