Molecular identification of Taenia hydatigena isolated from domestic dogs in Baghdad city
Abstract
The aim of this present study is to detect the 18S rRNA gene sequences of T. hydatigena and to compare their genetic relatedness utilizing phylogenetic analysis. Twenty of T. hydatigena adult worms were obtained from ten naturally infected domestic dogs after treatment with albendazol , at a dose of 0.3% g/kg body weight . We obtained samples from dogs that treated in a small animal private clinics in Baghdad, Iraq, during the period from January to May2018. The results of phylogenetic analysis showed that proximity and the genetic dimension among the Taenia hydatigena isolate isolated from of dogs among themselves and the world are with more than 99% compatibility values. The molecular tools, including the sequence data of (18S rRNA) gene. It was the first study on Taenia hydatigena genotypes in domestic dogs in Iraq.
