Abstract excerpt
Because it is difficult to identify morphologically the Japanese forms of Fasciola, additional taxonomic criteria are required. In order to clarify the genetic relationships between Fasciola hepatica, Fasciola gigantica, and the Japanese triploid forms of Fasciola, we compared nucleotide sequence...
