Abstract excerpt
DNA isolated from a newly described taeniid from Taiwan which shows adult characters indistinguishable from those of Taenia saginata was compared to DNA from T. saginata and nine other cestodes by restriction endonuclease digestion of genomic DNA and Southern blot analysis using 32P-labeled total cestode RNA and cloned ribosomal RNA gene fragments as probes. Hybridization patterns of Taiwan Taenia DNA revealed...
