Variations in infectivity for Biomphalaria glabrata in strains of Schistosoma mansoni from the same geographical area

C S Richards. Bull World Health Organ. 1976.

Abstract

Genetic differences in infectivity for intermediate snail hosts in two strains of S. mansoni from the same geographical area and within a single isolated parasite population are reported. The importance of recognizing the potential for such genetic variation is stressed.
