| rhabdias esculentarum n. sp. (nematoda: rhabdiasidae) from green frogs of the rana esculenta species complex in italy: molecular evidence, morphological description and genetic differentiation from its congeners in frogs and toads. | a new taxon, rhabdias esculentarum n. sp., is described based on dna sequence analysis at multiple loci (i.e. mtdna cox-1, 12s rrna, its-1 and partial its-2 regions of the nuclear rdna) and morphometric analysis carried out on specimens collected from the green frogs of the rana esculenta species complex in italy (i.e. r. lessonae camerano and r. esculenta linnaeus, identified genetically by diagnostic allozyme loci). rhabdias esculentarum n. sp. was differentiated genetically, at both mitochond ... | 2012 | 22581250 |
