Genetic variability among cecariae of the shistomatidae (Trematoda: Digenea) causing swimmer's itch in Europe
Ribosomal DNA sequences of the internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) were obtained from schistosome cercariae responsible for swimmer's itch in Europe. Two types of ITS 1 (1100 and 1400), which differ by the number of repeated patterns were found among cercariae shedded by Lymnaea ovata and L. a...
