Trematode infections affect one fifth of the worlds' population, with more than 200 million Chinese alone being at risk (World Health Organisation 1997, Hotez et at 1997). Of particular interest to this study are the Asian species of the trematode genera Paragonimus and Schistosoma, which infect many mammals, including humans. It is becoming clear that within both genera species complexes exist that require further characterisation. Molecular markers have given some insight into the nature of these complexes. In this thesis additional molecular markers are investigated as sources of information about the nature and distribution of the S. japonicum, P. westermani and P. ohirai species complexes. These two genera are of additional interest be...
