摘要
The nucleotide sequence of the 3' end of the second internal transcribed spacer region (ITS2) was determined for four isolates of Fasciola hepatica, two isolates of Fasciola gigantica, one isolate of Fascioloides magna and one isolate of Fasciola sp. from Japan. Intraspecific sequence divergence was negligible. Sequence divergence between F. hepatica and F. gigantica was 2.8% and between Fasciola hepatica and Fascioloides magna was 13.2%. The sequence of Fasciola sp. from Japan matched closely that of F. gigantica. This study demonstrates variability in nucleotide sequence within the ITS2 region which allows discrimination between species of Fasciolidae.
