Population genetic diversity of Schistosoma japonicum arises from the host switching in the life cycle
The population genetic diversity of S. japonicum differs in different developmental stages. Host species and sampling number significantly affect the distribution pattern of alleles and the genetic structure of S. japonicum at the suprapopulation level.
