Abstract

Restriction endonuclease analysis of mitochondrial DNA was carried out in order to differentiate diploid and triploid types of Paragonimus westermani originating from Japan. It was found that out of 16 restriction enzymes. PstI, HaeIII and RsaI revealed consistently different cleavage patterns between the two types.
