genetic characteristics of chinese isolates of the tapeworm taenia pisiformis based on two mitochondrial genes.	cysticercosis is caused by infections with embryonated eggs of the tapeworm taenia pisiformis. knowledge of the genetic characteristics of t. pisiformis could be applied to study the epidemiology and transmission of this parasite. in this study, 61 isolates of intraperitoneal cysticerci from eight geographically distinct regions in sichuan province, china, were subjected to a molecular analysis in order to determine their intra-regional genetic characteristics. partial sequences of the mitochond ...	2015	24690153
genetic variation of taenia pisiformis collected from sichuan, china, based on the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene.	taenia pisiformis is one of the most important parasites of canines and rabbits. t. pisiformis cysticercus (the larval stage) causes severe damage to rabbit breeding, which results in huge economic losses. in this study, the genetic variation of t. pisiformis was determined in sichuan province, china. fragments of the mitochondrial cytochrome b (cytb) (922 bp) gene were amplified in 53 isolates from 8 regions of t. pisiformis. overall, 12 haplotypes were found in these 53 cytb sequences. molecul ...	2013	24039288
