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 the parasites and by 8 polymorphic markers generated by 3 primers. Among the 212 parasite individuals recovered from 10...
