摘要: We sequenced and characterized the complete mitochondrial genome of Japanese fish tapeworm D. nihonkaiense. The is a circular-DNA molecule 13607 bp (one nucleotide shorter than that latum mtDNA) containing 12 protein-coding genes (lacking atp8), 22 tRNA two rRNA genes. Gene order content are identical to those other cestodes reported thus far, including its congener latum. only exception Hymenolepis diminuta in which positions trnS2 trnL1 switched. tested PCR-based molecular assay designed rapidly accurately differentiate between nihonkaiense using species-specific primers based on comparison their mtDNA sequences. found system be very reliable specific, suggest identification methods sequences could contribute study epidemiology larval ecology Diphyllobothrium species.
