Egg morphometry and single-stranded conformational polymorphism (SSCP) analysis on adult worms were used in order to characterize the schistosome populations of two sites. The morphology of the eggs showed three morphotypes: <jats:italic>S. haematobium<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>S. guineensis<\/jats:italic> and intermediate morphotypes, but the eggs of the morphotype <jats:italic>S. guineensis<\/jats:italic> were smaller compared to the values found in the literature. Furthermore, the SSCP analysis of the adult schistosomes showed that all the patterns corresponded to that of <jats:italic>S. haematobium<\/jats:italic> and gave evidence that hybrids were absent from our samples.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022149x09990289","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,7,22]],"date-time":"2009-07-22T09:25:10Z","timestamp":1248254710000},"page":"81-85","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Morphometric and molecular characterizations of schistosome populations in Estuaire province Gabon"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"84","author":[{"given":"R.","family":"Mintsa Nguema","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"K.
