| molecular phylogeography of angiostrongylus cantonensis (nematoda: angiostrongylidae) and genetic relationships with congeners using cytochrome b gene marker. | angiostrongylus cantonensis is an important emerging zoonotic parasite causing human eosinophilic meningitis (or meningoencephalitis) in many parts of the world. to-date there is only a single study using mitochondrial cytochrome b (cytb) gene to determine its genetic structure in eight geographical localities in thailand. the present study examined the molecular phylogeography of this rat lungworm and its phylogenetic relationship with congeners using cytb gene marker. a total of 15 cytb haplot ... | 2015 | 25930187 |
| molecular differentiation of angiostrongylus taxa (nematoda: angiostrongylidae) by cytochrome c oxidase subunit i (coi) gene sequences. | nematodes of the genus angiostrongylus are parasites of rodents and carnivores. they reside in the pulmonary or mesenteric arteries of their hosts. two species are pathogenic in humans -angiostrongylus cantonensis causes eosinophilic meningitis or meningoencephalitis, and angiostrongylus costaricensis produces abdominal angiostrongyliasis. in addition angiostrongylus malaysiensis may have the potential of being pathogenic in humans. the mitochondrial gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit i (coi) of ... | 2010 | 20654571 |
| molecular differentiation and phylogenetic relationships of three angiostrongylus species and angiostrongylus cantonensis geographical isolates based on a 66-kda protein gene of a. cantonensis (nematoda: angiostrongylidae). | the phylogenetic relationships and molecular differentiation of three species of angiostrongylid nematodes (angiostrongylus cantonensis, angiostrongylus costaricensis and angiostrongylus malaysiensis) were studied using the ac primers for a 66-kda protein gene of a. cantonensis. the ac primers successfully amplified the genomic dna of these angiostrongylid nematodes. no amplification was detected for the dna of ascaris lumbricoides, ascaris suum, anisakis simplex, gnathostoma spinigerum, toxocar ... | 2010 | 20566366 |
