Abstract:The complete coding sequences (from the 5’ terminus of 18S to the 3’ terminus of 28S rRNA genes) of ribosomal transcription units (designated as rTU*) of seven strains of five Asian Paragonimus species, excluding the unsequenced flanking ETS and IGS regions, were genetically characterized. The rTU* length was 7,661 bp for P. heterotremus (LC strain, Vietnam), 7,543 bp for P. iloktsuenensis (Amami strain, Japan), 6,932 bp for P. skrjabini miyazakii (OkuST1 strain, Japan), 7,422 bp for P. ohirai (Kino strain, Ja… Show more
