Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Understanding the molecular epidemiology of Ascaris is essential for clarifying species boundaries and transmission dynamics within regions where human-animal interfaces may influence parasite dispersal. This study provides a comprehensive multilocus characterization of Ascaris populations in Pakistan using nuclear (partial 5.8 S, ITS2, partial 28 S) and mitochondrial (cox1) markers. METHODS: A total...
