Microsatellite typing reveals strong genetic structure of Schistosoma mansoni from localities in Kenya

Genetic diversity and population structure of seven populations of Schistosoma mansoni sampled in Kenya were assessed using five microsatellite markers. The mean number of alleles per locus, expected heterozygosity in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and pairwise FST values ranged from 5.2 to 10.7, 0.5-0....
