Abstract excerpt
Genetic variability within and among four geographical strains of Schistosoma japonicum was examined using a novel repetitive element. The element, termed Sirh1.0, was isolated from genomic DNA of a Philippine strain of S. japonicum using a combination of restriction fragment PCR and band-stab PCR. Sjrh1.0 is a tandemly repeated element, the sequence of which appears to be species-specific, in that it hybridized...
