survey of spirometra erinaceieuropaei spargana infection in the frog rana nigromaculata of the hunan province of china.	the prevalence of spargana infection in frogs (rana nigromaculata) was investigated in china's central hunan province, from march 2007 to october 2009. 59 of 292 (20.2%) wild-caught frogs were found to be infected with plerocercoids (spargana) of the genus spirometra. spargana were recovered from the skeletal muscle of the hind limb. the infection rate ranged from 4.5% to 27.4%, and the infection intensity was 1-15 spargana per frog. to identify the species identity of the collected spargana, a ...	2010	20609520
sequence variability in three mitochondrial dna regions of spirometra erinaceieuropaei spargana of human and animal health significance.	sequence variability in three mitochondrial dna (mtdna) regions, namely cytochrome c oxidase subunit 3 (cox3), nadh dehydrogenase subunits 1 and 4 (nad1 and nad4) in spirometra erinaceieuropaei spargana from different geographical regions in china was examined. a portion of each of the cox3 (pcox3), nad1 (pnad1) and nad4 genes (pnad4) were amplified separately from individual s. erinaceieuropaei spargana by polymerase chain reaction (pcr). representative amplicons were subjected to sequencing in ...	2011	21771389
