Abstract excerpt
Pneumocystis carinii from rats and from humans were compared with respect to electrophoretic karyotype, presence of DNA sequences known to be repeated in rat-derived P. carinii, overall DNA sequence homology, and the sequences at two genetic loci. The organisms from each host species were different in each respect. Neither of two repeated DNAs from rat-derived P. carinii was found in the genome of human-derived...
