Summary

A comparative isoenzyme study between a natural population of Echinostoma caproni and 2 strains of E. caproni and E. togoensis, maintained for a long time in the laboratory led to the following conclusions. (1) The natural E. caproni population showed polymorphism of associated PGM and GPI genotypes. Some zymograms were identical to those of experimental strains. Allelic frequencies show that the natural population is panmictic according to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. (2) The laboratory strains were monomorphic, and interbreeding produced double-heterozygous F1 progeny, identical to those of the natural population.
