Abstract excerpt

Random amplified polymorphic DNA markers (RAPD) were used to visualize the genetic diversity within and between infrapopulations of Schistosoma mansoni recovered from the natural vertebrate host, Rattus rattus, trapped at an insular Guadeloupean focus. Phenotypes were characterized by the sex of...
