Abstract

Seven geographically varied isolates of Strongyloides ratti were cloned. Each clone was examined for the degree of homogonic development of the free-living generation and by enzyme electrophoresis. Considerable variation was found between the clones in the degree of development that was homogonic. In Contrast, the clones were indistinguishable by enzyme electrophoresis.
