| population genetics and dynamics at short spatial scale in bulinus truncatus, the intermediate host of schistosoma haematobium, in morocco. | the population biology of the schistosome-vector snail bulinus truncatus was studied in an irrigation system near marrakech, morocco using both genetic and demographic approaches. the population genetic survey was conducted in 4 sites, 2 sites being sampled on 2 separate occasions. individuals were genotyped at 6 microsatellite loci. no variability was found at 4 loci, and the 2 other loci had less than 4 alleles. the differentiation, both spatial and temporal, among populations was extremely we ... | 2002 | 12403323 |
| spatial and temporal variation of life-history traits documented using capture-mark-recapture methods in the vector snail bulinus truncatus. | the population biology of the schistosome-vector snail bulinus truncatus was studied in an irrigation area near marrakech, morocco, using demographic approaches, in order to estimate life-history parameters. the survey was conducted using 2 capture-mark-recapture analyses in 2 separate sites from the irrigation area, the first one in 1999 and the second one in 2000. individuals larger than 5 mm were considered. the capture probability varied through time and space in both analyses. apparent surv ... | 2003 | 12964827 |
