Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Spirocerca lupi: sequence, gene organization and phylogenetic implications
22 Feb 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Spirocerca lupi is a life-threating parasitic nematode of dogs that has a cosmopolitan distribution but is most prevalent in tropical and subtropical countries. Despite its veterinary importance in canids, the epidemiology, molecular ecology and population genetics of this parasite still remain unexplored. METHODS: The complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of S. lupi was amplified in four overlapping...
