Abstract excerpt
Four to thirty-two copies of the rDNA 28S gene expansion segment D3 and flanking H14 stem were sequenced in six species of ticks (Ixodes: Ixodidae: Acari). Sequence match among species varied from 66% to 97%. Sequence length averaged 130 bases in I. persulcatus across eight Eurasian sites and averaged 186 bases in five other species across 19 Eurasian and North American sites. The difference in length represents...
