Molecular Detection and Characterization of Goat Isolate ofTaenia hydatigenain Turkey

Abstract: The aim of this study was to provide molecular detection and characterization of the goat isolate of Taenia hydatigena from Ankara province of Turkey. For this purpose, PCR amplification of small subunit ribosomal RNA (rrnS) and partial sequencing of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (mt-CO1) genes were performed in a one-month-old dead goat. According to rrnS-PCR results, parasites were identified as Taenia spp., and partial sequence of mt-CO1 gene was corresponding to T. hydatigena. At the end of … Show more

“…There is very little information on the genetic nature of the parasite from other intermediate hosts, including goat, pig and cattle (Utuk & Piskin, 2012). Further studies on the molecular and morphological characterization of the parasite are clearly required from other intermediate hosts from different parts of the world.…”

“…To determine the specific Taenia species, DNA was extracted from proglottids using the DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kit (QIAGEN, Valencia, CA, USA), and endpoint polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed targeting a fragment of 446 base pairs (bp) of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (mt-CO1) gene following the procedure described by Utuk and Piskin [ 11 ]. The PCR products were separated on agarose gel (1.5%) and stained with ethidium bromide and visualized on an UV transilluminator.…”

“…The larva is also found in muscle, subcutaneous, and connective tissues, and other unusual locations [ 17 , 27 ]. Mature cysticercus tenuicollis cysts are usually found in the omentum, mesentery and peritoneum, less frequently in the pleura and pericardium and occasionally in the lungs, kidneys, brains, ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus, cervix, and vagina, while migrating larvae can be found mostly in the liver parenchyma [ 24 , 26 ]. In heavy infections, these larvae cause hemorrhagic and fibrotic lesions of liver parenchyma known as “hepatitis cysticercosa” [ 24 , 26 ].…”

In heavy infections, these larvae cause hemorrhagic and fibrotic lesions of liver parenchyma known as “hepatitis cysticercosa” [ 24 , 26 ]. Coenurosis and abdominal cysticercosis are usually fatal to livestock and cause huge losses to the economy due to condemnation of infected muscle and offal [ 9 , 21 ].…”
