Molecular taxonomic study of Trichinella spp. from mammals of Russian Arctic and subarctic areas
نویسندگان
چکیده
Analysis of taxonomic affiliation of Trichinella species circulating in the Chukotka Autonomous Region and some subarctic areas of the Russian Federation showed that the representatives of T. spiralis and the Arctic trichinellas T. nativa (genotype T2) and Trichinella sp. (genotype T6) can be found there. The partial sequences of Coxb (704 bp) of these Arctic Trichinella spp. from Russia differ from Coxb sequences of those genotypes (T2 and T6) deposited in NCBI GenBank (1-3 bp). The cultivated larvae of Trichinella sp., which were established from muscular tissue sample of stray cat (shot on the fur farm in Chukotka peninslula) differ at molecular level (Coxb) even more significantly; 21-24 bp difference between Trichinella sp. and T. nativa and 46-47 bp difference between the same isolate and T. spiralis were recorded.

General introduction and epidemiology of trichinellosis.
All studies on trichinellosis have been based on the assumption that there is only one cosmopolitan agent of human and animal trichinellosis; Trichinella spiralis (Owen, 1835). In the past, swine and only a few synanthropic animals were considered reservoirs, and the presence of the parasite in sylvatic animals was considered rare. Breeding experiments before, and then biochemical approaches (i...

Seven species belonging to the Trichinella genus (five with encapsulated larvae and two with non-encapsulated larvae in host muscles) and three additional genotypes have been described to date: T. spiralis (genotype T1), a cosmopolitan species with a high infectivity to swine and rats; T. nativa (T2), etiological agent of sylvatic trichinellosis in arctic and subarctic areas of the Holarctic re...
متن کاملOn the Role of Derivational Processes in the Formation of Non-Taxonomic Classes of Lexical Units in Russian
The paper is focused on classes of lexical units which arise as a result of derivational processes – word formation and semantic transfers, acting either in isolation or together, on the basis of common semantic foundations that bind targets and sources of derivation. The lexical items which constitute the classes under study vary in their denotative characteristics and due to their categ...
متن کاملPredicted geographic ranges for North American sylvatic Trichinella species.
Because of a lack of comprehensive surveys, the geographic distributions of the North American species of encapsulating Trichinella (T. nativa and its variant T6, T. murrelli, and T. spiralis) are poorly characterized in detail. These species are potentially zoonotic; therefore, biogeographic information is critical to monitoring their status and any distribution changes due to climatic and man...

I N 1908, on returning after two years’ absence to the head of the Mackenzie Delta, the explorer Stefansson (1929) learned that many of his Eskimo acquaintances were dead, including a group of eight “poisoned by eating the meat of a freshly killed white whale.” Calamities of that sort were familiar to whalers and attributed by them to ptomaine poisoning; but Stefansson concluded this could scar...
