“…This finding is similar to the cladistic study by Hoberg et al [37], [38] and [39], in which they both appeared in the same subclade. Both species have a relatively large cysticercus (usually up to 2.0-2.5 cm in the case of T. regis, and 2.5-4 cm or more for T. hydatigena) in the serosa in the coelom of the intermediate host, but they are clearly distinct based on adult morphology.…”

“…It is intriguing and unexpected that T. madoquae, a species with a cysticercus in the skeletal muscles of a small antelope appears to be genetically closely related (of the species studied here) to T. serialis and T. multiceps, both of which have a coenurus as the larval stage. Current findings contrast with cladistic analyses by Hoberg et al [37], [38] and [39], which indicated that T. madoquae appeared in a subclade separate from both T. multiceps and T.…”

“…In the present study, the two clades defined constitute species with cysticerci found predominantly in the peritoneal cavity on the one hand (T. regis and T. hydatigena) and cysticerci or these synonymies (discussed in [9] and [37]) have gradually gained general acceptance. A future line of study might be to examine species, such as T. taeniaeformis and T. parva, with a strobilocercus/polycephalic strobilocercus metacestode to better clarify their genetic relationships to species with a cysticercus.…”

In the present study, we have extended earlier taxonomic, biochemical and experimental investigations to characterize two species of Taenia from carnivores in Kenya by use of the sequences of a variable domain (D1) of nuclear ribosomal DNA and the cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 and NADH dehydrogenase 1 genes of mitochondrial DNA. Emphasis was placed on the characterization of Taenia madoquae from the silver-backed jackal (Canis mesomelas) and Taenia regis from the lion (Panthera leo), given the previous absence of any DNA sequence data for them, and on assessing their genetic relationships with socioeconomically important taeniids. The study showed that T. regis was genetically most closely related to T. hydatigena, and T. madoquae to T. serialis, T. multiceps or T. saginata. The present findings provide a stimulus for future work on the openUP (December 2007) systematic relationships and epidemiology of lesser-known taeniid cestodes in Africa and other continents, employing mitochondrial sequence data sets.

“…T. asiatica is an important human parasite in Asian countries including Korea, China, Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Japan and the Philippines (Nakao et al, 2002). This species has T. saginata-like morphology, but has a T. solium-like lifecycle (Bowles and McManus, 1994;Hoberg et al, 2000). Currently, it is still not clear whether *Corresponding author.…”

Taenia solium and Taenia asiatica are zoonotic parasites which are transmitted between pigs and humans, with pigs acting as the intermediate host and humans as the definitive host. The aim of the present study was to compare the microRNA (miRNA) profiles between T. solium and T. asiatica by Solexa deep sequencing and bioinformatic analyses. A total of 18.26 and 15.24 million reads with high quality and three new miRNAs were obtained in each species, respectively. The two cestodes shared nearly the same level of total sRNA, but the known miRNAs were in a very different manner. Nucleotide guanine (G) and uracil (U) were the most frequently used first nucleotide in both T. solium and T. asiatica, respectively. Furthermore, it was also found that there were great differences in the kinds and copy numbers of miRNAs among the two Taenia species, which might indicate the different evolutions in the two parasites. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the characterization of the miRNA profiles for the two Taenia cestodes, and it would lay a foundation for further functional studies of miRNAs of T. solium and T. asiatica.

“…A growing number of applied researchers in parasitology have recognized this, and are using phylogenetic information in their studies. Unfortunately, the taxonomic impediment means that there are as yet few phylogenies for groups that include important parasites of humans and livestock (but see Barta 1989, Hoberg & Lichtenfels 1994, Hoberg et al 2000, Nadler & Hudspeth 2000.…”

Thanks to the phylogenetic systematics revolution, systematic parasitology is poised to make significant contributions in tropical medicine and public health, biodiversity science, and evolutionary biology. At the same time, the taxonomic impediment is acute within parasitology. Both systematists and non-systematists must be interested in working towards common goals and establishing collaborative efforts in order to re-vitalize and re-populate systematic parasitology.
