A Multiplex-PCR approach to identification of the Brazilian intermediate hosts of Schistosoma mansoni
Due to difficulties concerning morphological identification of planorbid snails of the genus Biomphalaria, and given a high variation of characters and in the organs with muscular tissue, we designed specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers for Brazilian snail hosts of Schistosoma mansoni fr...
