Abstract excerpt
A comparative study of the genetic structure of 8 populations of B.globosus from 2 areas of different endemicity of Schistosoma haematobium was done. Five populations were from Chiweshe (high endemicity) and three were from Plumtree (low endemicity). Genetic structure, as determined by allozyme g...
