Abstract excerpt
The usefulness of random amplified polymorphic DNA markers (RAPD) was assayed in an attempt to discriminate among species, strains and individuals within the genus Schistosoma. Depending on the species, 40-50 arbitrary decamer oligonucleotides were used as primers to amplify total DNA by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). An important polymorphism was observed among 5 species, allowing a phylogenetic tree to be...
