| phylogenetic relationships between pinworms (nematoda: enterobiinae) parasitising the critically endangered orang-utan, according to the characterisation of molecular genomic and mitochondrial markers. | pinworms (nematoda: enterobiinae) include 52 species parasitising primates throughout the world. in the present study, we performed the first ever molecular analysis to investigate the phylogenetic position of recently described pinworms parasitising the sumatran orang-utan. the phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial co1 and chromosomal 18s rdna and its1 regions could support the independent status of several nematoda species. our molecular data clearly suggest that enterobius (colobenterobius) ... | 2014 | 24880237 |
