Species delimitation in trematodes using DNA sequences: Middle-American Clinostomum as a case study.

abstract：:The genetic basis of virulence in a line (YM) of Plasmodium yoelii yoelii was investigated in a cross with a mild line (A/C). The blood forms of the virulent line developed extensively in mature erythrocytes of mice, causing death of the host within 7 days; infections with the mild line were normally restricted to ret...
