Molecular Identification of Trichuris suis Worms and Eggs in Pig Feces, Infected Intestines, and Farm Environments in Japan
Trichuris suis is a common parasite in pigs that is thought to infect humans based on studies using recently developed molecular methods. However, the utility of such molecular methods for detection has not been examined. In the present study, we assessed PCRand sequencing-based molecular methods for the detection of several stages of T. suis. PCR targeting the mitochondrial large ribosomal subunit was successful with amplification of DNA from the samples. The sequences of the isolates formed a phylogenetic cluster with isolates from China and Ecuador. The assay was effective by using DNAs extracted from a low number of eggs (> 20 eggs) and the fragments of worms after histopathologic analyses. This is the first report describing the molecular identification of T. suis from pigs in Japan. Discipline: Animal Science Additional key words: molecular detection, nematode, parasite, PCR
期刊介绍:
The Japan Agricultural Research Quarterly (JARQ) is a publication of the Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences (JIRCAS), which provides readers overseas with the latest information on key achievements and developments in agricultural research in Japan, with the expectation that this information would contribute to the agricultural development of countries in tropical and subtropical regions.
