Differentiating<i>Dracunculus</i><i>medinensis</i>from<i>D.</i><i>insignis</i>, by the sequence analysis of the 18S rRNA gene

1 Jul 2005

Abstract excerpt

This study, undertaken as a component of the global Dracunculiasis Eradication Program (DEP), was designed to provide molecular tools to distinguish Dracunculus medinensis, the nematode causing human dracunculiasis, from other tissue-dwelling nematodes, including other Dracunculus species that infect humans and other animals. DNA was extracted from D. medinensis and from a closely related species that infects...
