Spectrophotometric analysis of haemoglobins of some digenetic trematodes and their hosts

ABSTRACT The haemoglobins of six different species of trematodes: Gastrothylax crumenifer, Srivastavaia indica, Gigantocotyle explanatum, Fasciolopsis buski, Gastrodiscoides hominis Isoparorchis hypselobagri and their three different hosts: Bubalus bubalis, Sus scrofa , and Wallago attu were spectro...
