Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Lernaea spp., commonly referred to as anchor worms, are widespread ectoparasitic copepods known for their broad host range and high morphological variability, which complicates accurate taxonomic identification. PURPOSE: The hypothesis of this study was to accurately identified lernaea and differentiate at the species level using 18S rRNA gene sequencing, thereby overcoming the limitations and...
