Popis: | Nine populations of the snail Biomphalaria glabrata, sampled in 1992 and in 1994 in the Guadeloupean focus of schistosomiasis, were studied using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. The detected polymorphism was low with 11 polymorphic markers. A canonical analysis of the genetic polymorphism showed a significant and large differentiation between the nine populations studied in a restricted area of 45 km 2 . A Mantel t-test indicated a significant correlation between the genetic differentiation and the geographical distance. A significant but smaller differentiation between a northern and southern group was also observed using canonical analysis. A comparison over time has been done. |
