Genetic differentiation in geographically close populations of the water rat Nectomys squamipes (Rodentia, Sigmodontinae) from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
We examined the genetic structure and the effects of a bottleneck in populations of the water rat Nectomys squamipes, a primary host of Schistosoma mansoni. Eight microsatellite loci were studied in 7 populations from the Sumidouro region of the Brazilian state of Rio de Janeiro. Our data, covering...
