Abstract excerpt
We examined the usefulness of the D3 domain and flanking core regions (=D3(+)) of the nuclear large subunit (LSU) ribosomal DNA as a genetic marker for species-level identification and the inference of evolutionary relationships of ixodid ticks. Genetic variation was also examined in relation to the secondary structure of the LSU rDNA. The results revealed a lack of sequence difference in the D3(+) among species...
