Molecular differentiation of sheep and cattle isolates of Fasciola hepatica using RAPD-PCR

molecular differentiation of sheep and cattle isolates of fasciola hepatica using rapd-pcr

understanding genetic structure and status of genetic variation of fasciola hepatica isolates from different hosts, has important implications on epidemiology and effective control of fasciolosis. random amplified polymorphic dna (rapd-pcr) was used to study the genetic variation of f. hepatica in sheep and cattle. dna was extracted from adult helminthes removed from livers of each infected ani...

molecular characterization of fasciola hepatica isolates by rapd-pcr and ribosomal its1 sequencing

Determination of somatic and excretory-secretory antigens of Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica using SDS-PAGE

Human fascioliasis due to unknown species and animal fascioliasis caused by both or one of Fasciola spp. are commonly seen in Iran. To compare electrophoretic patterns of somatic and excretory-secretory antigens of F. hepatica and F. gigantica  by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), the adult flukes were collected from infected slaughtered bovine livers. E/S a...

The efficiency of diamphenethide against Fasciola hepatica in sheep

Identification and Genetic Variation of Fasciola Species from Tabriz, North- Western Iran

BACKGROUND Fascioliasis is considered as the most important helminthic infection of cattle and sheep. Traditional approaches using morphological and biologic characters cannot cause a certainty in the accurate and precise identification and intra-specific differences of Fasciola spp. In this study, we identified Fasciola species using ITS-1 marker and described genetic variation of each species...

Fasciola hepatica in Some Buffaloes and Cattle by PCR and Microscopy

Fasciolosis is the burning problem of the livestock rearing community having huge morbidity, mortality, and economic losses to livestock industries in our country Pakistan. The faecal and liver biopsy samplings were examined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and microscopy technique during the entire study. A total of 307 samples including 149 samples from Karak and 158 samples from Kohat abat...
