ABSTRACT
Eight geographical isolates of Schistosoma japonicum from Taiwan and mainland China and one isolate of Schistosoma mansoni were studied by RAPD analysis using six arbitrary primers and SSR-PCR analysis using a (CA)8RY primer. The genetic distance was determined by the percentage of unshared bands. The RAPD and SSR-PCR results showed that the genetic distance between S. mansoni and S. japonicum was more than 0.900 and 0.850 respectively; the genetic distance between the eight geographical isolates of S. japonicum was 0.000 to 0.232 and 0.066 to 0.368 respectively. These results demonstrated the usefulness of RAPD and SSR-PCR for showing the differences of inter- and intra-species of Schistosoma. The results also suggest that there is genetic diversity among the different geographical strains of S. japonicum in China.
