Possible hybridization of Brazilian planorbid snails and its importance in population dynamics

Possible hybridization of Brazilian planorbid snails and its importance in population dynamics

This study focuses on the possibility of experimental hybridization among host snail species for Schistosoma mansoni in Brazil, with morphological characterization of the hybrids found. By using albinism as a genetic marker, intraspecific crossbreedings were performed between two strains of each spe...
