Genetic variability and identification of the intermediate snail hosts of Schistosoma mansoni

Genetic variability and identification of the intermediate snail hosts of Schistosoma mansoni

Studies based on shell or reproductive organ morphology and genetic considerations suggest extensive intraspecific variation in Biomphalaria snails. The high variability at the morphological and genetic levels, as well as the small size of some specimens and similarities between species complicate t...
