Le, TH, De Nguyen, V, Phan, BU, Blair, D, McManus, DP
A Viet Namese child presented with a history of abdominal pain. Shortly afterwards, he vomited eight live trematode flukes that were collected and morphologically identified as Fasciolopsis buski....
Revisiting the question of limited genetic variation within Schistosoma japonicum (2002)
Recent electrophoretic data have indicated that Schistosoma japonicum in mainland China may be a species complex, with the existence of a cryptic species being predicted from the analysis of...
Mitochondrial genomes of parasitic flatworms (2002)
Complete or near-complete mitochondrial genomes are now available for 11 species or strains of parasitic flatworms belonging to the Trematoda and the Cestoda. The organization of these genomes is not...
McManus, DP, Zhang, LH, Castrodale, LJ, Le, TH, Pearson, M, Blair, D
Distinct Echinococcus granulosus life cycle patterns have been described in North America: domestic and sylvatic. Gene sequences of the sylvatic E. granulosus indicate that it represents a separate...
Le, TH, Pearson, MS, Blair, D, Dai, N, Zhang, LH, McManus, DP
Unlike other members of the genus, Echinococcus granulosus is known to exhibit considerable levels of variation in biology, physiology and molecular genetics. Indeed, some of the taxa regarded as...

Complete sequences were obtained for the coding portions of the mitochondrial (mt) genomes of Schistosoma mansoni (NMRI strain, Puerto Rico; 14415 bp), S. japonicum (Anhui strain, China; 14085 bp)...
The complete nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial (mt) DNA molecule of the liverfluke, Fasciola hepatica (phylum Platyhelminthes, class Trematoda, family Fasciolidae), was determined, It...
Mitochondrial genes of schistosoma mansoni (1999)
Blair, D, Le, TH, Despres, L, McManus, DP
Two clones, totalling 8068 bp and spanning over half of the coding region of the mitochondrial genome of Schistosoma, mansoni, have been sequenced. Complete sequences are presented of the large and...
