| population genetics of schistosoma japonicum within the philippines suggest high levels of transmission between humans and dogs. | schistosoma japonicum, which remains a major public health problem in the philippines and mainland china, is the only schistosome species for which zoonotic transmission is considered important. while bovines are suspected as the main zoonotic reservoir in parts of china, the relative contributions of various non-human mammals to s. japonicum transmission in the philippines remain to be determined. we examined the population genetics of s. japonicum in the philippines in order to elucidate trans ... | 2008 | 19030225 |
| genetic variation and differentiation of three schistosoma species from the philippines, laos, and peninsular malaysia. | electrophoretically-detected allozyme variation is described in strains of schistosoma japonicum (4 philippine strains), s. mekongi (laos), and an undescribed anthropophilic s. japonicum-like schistosome from peninsular malaysia. result, together with those reported previously for 8 other strains (s. japonicum, china, formosa, japan, philippines; s. mekongi, 2 substrains; malaysian schistosome, 2 strains) permit a composite genetic characterization of 15 strains of asian schistosomes at 9-18 pre ... | 1987 | 3826494 |
