A cloned 0.64-kb DNA sequence of Schistosoma mansoni contains 121-bp tandem repeats and comprises at least 12\% of the schistosomal genome of both sexes. It exhibits a high degree of species specificity upon hybridization with Schistosoma haematobium and Schistosoma magrebowiei DNA, and could detect with high sensitivity schistosomal DNA sequences in infected snails.
