<p>ITS and mitochondrial genotypes from Nigerian schistosome parasites. The ancestry of samples inferred from ITS and mtDNA marker scheme for S. bovis (“SB”), S. curassoni (“SC”) and S. haematobium (“SH”) following interpretations commonly used in the literature [46]. Only parasites collected from Nigeria are considered here. The interpretations from ITS/Cox1 genotyping are critically examined by comparison with whole genome sequence data in this paper but are not supported.</p> Egie E. Enabuele (25158001) Roy N.
