Study of Biomphalaria Tenagophila Tenagophila, B. t. Guaibensis and B. Occidentalis by Polymerase Chain Reaction Amplification and Restriction Enzyme Digestion of the Ribosomal RNA Intergenic Spacer Regions (1999)

Spatz, Linus, Caldeira, Roberta L., Neto, Emmanuel Dias, Cappa, Stella Maris Gonzalez, Carvalho, Omar S.

Biomphalaria tenagophila tenagophila, B. tenagophila guaibensis and B. occidentalis are indistinguishable on the basis of shell morphology and the majority of organs of the genital system. Only B. t....

Genetic Variability and Identification of the Intermediate Snail Hosts of Schistosoma mansoni (1998)

Teofânia HDA Vidigal, Emmanuel Dias Neto, Linus Spatz, Diana N Nunes, Edina R Pires, Andrew JG Simpson, ...

Studies based on shell or reproductive organ morphology and genetic considerations suggest extensive intraspecific variation in Biomphalaria snails. The high variability at the morphological and...

RESEARCH NOTE - Molecular Study of Similar Biomphalaria Species (1998)

Linus Spatz, Emmanuel Dias Neto, Omar S Carvalho

Biomphalaria tenagophila tenagophila (Orbigny 1835) is a planorbid susceptible to infection with Schistosoma mansoni which occupies a wide range in South America and is an important intermediate host...

A Low Stringency Polymerase Chain Reaction Approach to the Identification of Biomphalaria glabrata and B. tenagophila, Intermediate Snail Hosts of Schistosoma mansoni in Brazil (1996)

Teofania HDA Vidigal, Emmanuel Dias Neto, Andrew JG Simpson, Omar S Carvalho

The low stringency-polymerase chain reaction (LS-PCR) with a pair of specific primers for the amplification of the 18S rRNA gene was evaluated as a means of differentiating between the two...

DNA Polymorphism of Schistosomes and their Snail Hosts (1995)

Andrew JG Simpson, Emmanuel Dias Neto, Teofania Hda Vidigal, Heloisa B Pena, Omar S Carvalho, Sergio DJ Pena

Analysis of the genomes of schistosomes and one of their intermediate hosts, Biomphalaria glabrata, using Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) demonstrated that intraspecific genetic polymorphism...

The generation and utilization of a cancer-oriented representation of the human transcriptome by using expressed sequence tags

Brentani, Helena, Caballero, Otávia L., Camargo, Anamaria A., Da Silva, Aline M., Da Silva, Wilson Araújo, Neto, Emmanuel Dias, ...

Whereas genome sequencing defines the genetic potential of an organism, transcript sequencing defines the utilization of this potential and links the genome with most areas of biology. To exploit the...
