Abstract excerpt
The DNA sequences of the mitochondrial (mt) 12S rRNA and tRNA(Val) genes were characterized for 82 blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis) that were genetically identical for Domains IV and V of the mt 16S rRNA gene. Thirty-one haplotypes, differed in sequence by 1-9 bp, were detected among the 82 ticks. Most nucleotide alterations in DNA sequence did not affect the stability of the secondary structures of the...
