Abstract excerpt
The only observed morphological difference between Spirometra erinacei and S. mansonoides is the uterine shape of the mature proglottid. Two species of worms are thought to be evolutionarily closely related. Biomolecular comparison of the two worms by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis was conducted to observe the genetic distance. The 28s rDNA, mitochondrial...
