Isozyme pattern of lactate and malate dehydrogenases of Gastrothylax crumenifer (Trematoda: Amphistomatidae) from different hosts.
Isozyme pattern of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and malate dehydrogenase (MDH) of Gastrothylax crumenifer from sheep, goat and buffalo was studied using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. LDH of G. crumenifer from buffalo, goat and sheep consists of four fractions, three fractions and two fractions, respectively. The parasite from buffalo shows two fractions of MDH, whereas those from goats or sheep show only a single fraction. The significance of these results is discussed.
