Abstract
- Pseudanoplocephala crawfordiis one of the important zoonotic cestodes causing economic significance and public health concern. In the present study, the phylogenetic position ofP. crawfordiisolated from pigs was re-inferred using molecular markers of internal transcribed spacer ribosomal DNA (ITS rDNA) and partial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 1 (pnad1) mitochondrial DNA. The lengths of ITS1, ITS2 rDNA and pnad1 were 757 bp, 628 bp and 458 bp, respectively. Sequence differences in the ITS1, ITS2 rDNA and pnad1 betweenP. crawfordiandHymenolepisspecies were smaller than that between cestodes within genusHymenolepis. Phylogenetic analyses based on three gene fragments showed thatP. crawfordiwas grouped into cluster ofHymenolepisspecies. These results suggested thatP. crawfordiwould be one member of genusHymenolepisbut not in a new genusPseudanoplocephala. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
