Genetic variation was assessed in Biomphalaria glabrata snails using variations in microsatellite loci and by RAPD-PCR analysis. Populations of snails examined were field-collected isolates from a small pond in a schistosomiasis endemic region in Brazil, after standard conditions were developed for...
