Abstract: Canine taeniids are among the major tapeworms with remarkable medical and economic significance. Reliable diagnosis and differentiation of dog taeniids using simple and sensitive tools are of paramount importance for establishing an efficient surveillance system. Microsatellites as abundant unique tandem repeats of short DNA motifs are useful genetic markers for molecular epidemiological studies. The purpose of the present study was to find a primer pair for rapid differentiation of major tapeworms of dogs, Ta… Show more

“…Cysticercosis caused by T. ovis has been a serious economic problem for endemic countries and many studies have been done on the development of a vaccine against this parasite (Lightowlers, 2003). No genetic information is available for T. ovis in Iran and little is known about genomic content of this parasite in the world (Shamsaddini et al ., 2017). More comprehensive molecular studies in this area are required to improve our understanding on the genetic diversity of this species and to provide a more effective vaccine against the parasite.…”

“…Members of this genus infect carnivores and humans while their larval stages occur in a wide variety of intermediate hosts where they cause cysticercosis and coenurosis (Nguyen et al, 2016). The infection caused by the larval stages is of veterinary and medical importance with signi cant losses in undeveloped countries with T. hydatigena inducing up to 330,000 euros nancial losses in the sheep sector that are underestimated (Scala et al, 2015;Shamsaddini et al, 2017). Carnivores (primarily dogs) are the nal hosts for T. hydatigena, meanwhile, wild and domestic ruminants act as intermediate hosts (Omar et al, 2016).…”

“…In Iraq, no genetic information is available regarding T. ovis , while globally, there is also not much data related to the genomic structure of this parasite ( 24 ). More thorough molecular research in the field is required in order to provide new and more efficient vaccines against those parasites as well as improve our understanding regarding such species’ genetic diversity.…”
