| genetic and morphological approaches distinguish the three sibling species of the anisakis simplex species complex, with a species designation as anisakis berlandi n. sp. for a. simplex sp. c (nematoda: anisakidae). | numerous specimens of the 3 sibling species of the anisakis simplex species complex (a. pegreffii, a. simplex (senso stricto)), and a. simplex sp. c) recovered from cetacean species stranded within the known geographical ranges of these nematodes were studied morphologically and genetically. the genetic characterization was performed on diagnostic allozymes and sequences analysis of nuclear (internal transcribed spacer [its] of ribosomal [r]dna) and mitochondrial (mitochondrial [mt]dna cox2 and ... | 2014 | 24224764 |
| putative hybrids between two anisakis cryptic species: molecular genotyping using high resolution melting. | the genus anisakis includes nine recognized species and the complex of cryptic species anisakis simplex s. l. is often associated with the human disease known as anisakiasis. during the last decades the use of nuclear ribosomal its allowed the identification and description of numerous anisakid nematodes and the discovery of recombinant genotypes or putative hybrids even in other parasitic helminths, such as those between a. simplex sensu stricto and a. pegreffii. the existence of pure hybrids o ... | 2014 | 25241034 |
| three anisakis spp. isolated from toothed whales stranded along the eastern adriatic sea coast. | knowledge concerning cetacean ecology in the mediterranean is limited but important for sustainable planning and enforcement of appropriate conservation measures. any information that might help to elucidate their ecology is essential. we explored the population and genetic structures of anisakis spp. nematodes isolated from four toothed whale species - bottlenose dolphins (tursiops truncatus), striped dolphins (stenella coeruleoalba), risso's dolphins (grampus griseus) and cuvier's beaked whale ... | 2015 | 25449948 |
