Nuclear Intron Sequence Variation of the <i>Bulinus globosus</i> Complex (Mollusca: Planorbidae): Implications for Molecular Systematic Analyses

Nuclear Intron Sequence Variation of the <i>Bulinus globosus</i> Complex (Mollusca: Planorbidae): Implications for Molecular Systematic Analyses

Urinary schistosomiasis is caused by the blood fluke <i>Schistosoma haematobium</i>, which is predominantly found in Africa. The freshwater snail <i>Bulinus globosus</i> is its main intermediate host. The species that make up the <i>B. globosus</i> group are genet...
