Abstract : In this paper, nine geographical isolates of Schistosoma mansoni (three from Egypt, three from Saudi Arabia and 3 from Puerto Rico) were studied at the genotype level by RAPD analysis with two arbitrary primers. The genetic distance was measured by the percentage of unshared bands. The RAPD results showed that the Egyptian strains were closely related to Saudi strains but Puerto Rico strains clustered in different group. These results demonstrated the usefulness of RAPD for displaying the differences of inter- and intra-species of Schistosoma. It also suggested that genetic diversity among different geographical strains of Schistosoma mansoni from different localities had occurred.
