Using molecular markers to study epidemiologically important trematode representatives, Clonorchis sinensis and Metagonimus suifunensis, in the Russian Far East
Abstract:Despite the epidemiological significance of the trematodes Clonorchis sinensis and Metagonimus suifunensis, these species are insufficiently studied in the Russian Far East. In this work, we compare various nuclear and mitochondrial markers used for population genetic studies, based on previously published articles, as well as new data on the nad1 mtDNA gene obtained for M. suifunensis. Even such conservative markers as the ITS1–5.8S-ITS2 rDNA region and the cox1 mtDNA gene are suitable for the analysis of gen… Show more
