Abstract excerpt
This study investigates sequence variation in mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene within Cercopithifilaria sp. recorded recently in Italy. Fourteen sequence types (haplotypes) were characterized for 163 (7.7%) amplicons from 2111 Genomic DNA samples prepared from skin samples from dogs and from Rhipicephalus sanguineus (ticks) from different geographical areas of the Mediterranean basin (i.e.,...
