The application of molecular systematics to the anisakid nematodes of the genera Anisakis,
Pseudoterranova and Contracaecum, parasites of aquatic organisms, over the last two …

We conducted an extensive literature review on studies that have used DNA sequences to
detect cryptic species of parasites during the last decade. Each literature citation that …

Modern molecular technologies are having a substantial impact in many fundamental and
applied areas of parasitology. In particular, polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-coupled …

Parasitic nematodes are known as important pathogens that cause problems for human and
animal health. Some of them naturally inhabit the marine environment, where they are …

This paper summarizes the trends in nematode species description and systematics
emerging from a comparison of the latest comprehensive classification and census of …

Contracaecum spp. are parasitic nematodes belonging to the family Anisakidae. They are
known to be able to have highly pathogenic impacts on both wildlife (fish, birds, marine …

Systematics involves resolving both the taxonomy and phylogenetic placement of
organisms. We review the advantages and disadvantages of the two kinds of information …

Parasitic nematodes are highly diverse and common, infecting virtually all animal species,
and the importance of their roles in natural ecosystems is increasingly becoming apparent …

Using genetic markers defined previously in the second internal transcribed spacer (ITS-2)
of nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA), isotopic, and non-isotopic polymerase-chain-reaction …

Contracaecum rudolphii (sl) is a complex of sibling species of anisakid nematodes having
the fish-eating birds belonging to the Family Phalacrocoracidae as final hosts. The great …
