| genetic characterisation of six sarcocystis species from reindeer (rangifer tarandus tarandus) in norway based on the small subunit rrna gene. | six sarcocystis species, i.e. sarcocystis grueneri, sarcocystis rangi, sarcocystis tarandivulpes, sarcocystis hardangeri, sarcocystis rangiferi and sarcocystis tarandi have previously been described from reindeer based on sarcocyst morphology. in order to validate and expand the species descriptions, the complete small subunit (ssu) rrna gene was sequenced and used to genetically characterise the six species. the aim was to reveal possible genetic variation in the ssu rrna gene within each sarco ... | 2007 | 17416466 |
| morphological and molecular identification of three species of sarcocystis in reindeer (rangifer tarandus tarandus) in iceland. | six sarcocystis species have previously been described from reindeer in norway based on sarcocyst morphology and dna sequencing. the aim of this study was to determine whether reindeer in iceland, which descend from reindeer imported from norway in 1787, also were infected with sarcocystis, and to identify and genetically characterise any species present. muscle tissue from the heart, diaphragm and/or oesophagus was collected from 36 reindeer in iceland. pieces of all tissue samples were examine ... | 2007 | 17904291 |
