Putative benzimidazole-resistance SNP in human STHs.
(A) Sequence information displayed in GenBank’s flat file; the boxes represent exons, whereas the lines represent introns. (B) Detailed nucleotide sequence of the three putative resistance SNPs and the amino-acid transcript at codons 167, 198, and 200. Al, Ascaris lumbricoides β-tubulin 1 sequence, partial cds (GenBank: FJ501301); cds, coding sequence; Na, Necator americanus β-tubulin 1 sequence, complete cds (GenBank: EF392851); STH, soil-transmitted helminth; Tt, Trichuris truchiura β-tubulin 1 sequence, complete cds (GenBank: AF034219).
