The population genetic structure of the facultatively sexual parasitic nematode Strongyloides ratti in wild rats.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Apr 1998

Fisher M C, Viney M E

Abstract excerpt

We have investigated the population genetic structure of the parasitic nematode Strongyloides ratti in wild rats. In the UK, S. ratti reproduces predominantly by mitotic parthenogenesis, with sexual forms present at a rate of less than 1%. S. ratti was found to be a prevalent parasite and substantial genetic diversity was detected. Most rats were infected with a genotypic mixture of parasites. A hierarchical...
