This paper considers the contributions that studies on electrophoresis of enzymes have made to the understanding of the biology of schistosomiasis. The use of enzymes for characterisation of schistosomes is reviewed and particular attention is given to investigations concerning hybridisation, mating behaviour and population structure. Results are presented on variation between isolates of S. haematobium detected by analysis of a G6PDH polymorphism and variation of G6PDH and MDH-1 within natural populations of S. leiperi from lechwe in Zambia. Genetic variation of snail populations is considered in relation to susceptibility to schistosomes. Examples are given illustrating the ways in which inheritance studies can be used to investigate the breeding biology of snails.
本文探讨了酶电泳研究对血吸虫病生物学理解所做的贡献。综述了利用酶对血吸虫进行特征描述的情况，并特别关注了有关杂交、交配行为和种群结构的研究。文中给出了通过分析G6PDH多态性检测到的埃及血吸虫分离株之间的变异，以及赞比亚水羚体内的雷氏血吸虫自然种群中G6PDH和MDH - 1变异的结果。还考虑了蜗牛种群的遗传变异与对血吸虫易感性的关系。文中给出了一些例子，说明如何利用遗传研究来调查蜗牛的繁殖生物学。
