| molecular differentiation of two new world saurian plasmodium species in different host species using the polymerase chain reaction. | several isolates of plasmodium floridense obtained from naturally infected anolis carolinensis and anolis sagrei, and 2 isolates of plasmodium chiricahuae obtained from sceloporus jarrovi were characterized at the ribosomal dna (rdna) locus using the polymerase chain reaction and agarose gel electrophoresis. enzymatic amplification of the rdna locus from both plasmodium species resulted in the generation of a 590-base pair (bp) dna fragment. the results obtained with all isolates of p. floridens ... | 1996 | 8604124 |
