SUMMARY Random amplified polymorphic DNA markers (RAPD) were used to visualize the genetic diversity within and between infrapopulations of Schistosoma mansoni recovered from the natural vertebrate host, Rattus rattus , trapped at an insular Guadeloupean focus. Phenotypes were characterized by the s...
