The present study show the molecular characterization of Fasciola hepatica taken from cows, horses and sheeps, using the Random Amplified Polymorphic ADN Fragments (RAPDs-PCR) technique. The standardization of the optimal conditions of amplification and thermocyclation for F. hepatica by RAPDs-PCR were made, as the genetic markers for polymorphic identification of the parasites collected from different animals specie.The methodology used compared the genetic pattern between species and inside each specie. The results shows random genetic markers, given genetic variations of F. hepatica between species and inside each specie (polymorphism), and the amplifications fragments were between 135 and 741 pair of bases (bp).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
