Sequence structure of complete internal transcribed spacer 1 and 2 (ITS1 and ITS2) of the ribosomal DNA region and partial mitochondrial cytochromecoxidase subunit I (cox1) gene sequences were studied in the monozoic tapewormAtractolytocestus sagittatus(Kulakovskaya et Akhmerov, 1965) (Cestoda: Caryophyllidea), a parasite of common carp (Cyprinus carpio carpioL.). Intraindividual sequence diversity was observed in both ribosomal spacers. In ITS1, a total number of 19 recombinant clones yielded eight different sequence types (pairwise sequence identity, 99.7–100%) which, however, did not resemble the structure typical for divergent intragenomic ITS copies (paralogues). Polymorphism was displayed by several single nucleotide mutations present exclusively in single clones, but variation in the number of short repetitive motifs was not observed. In ITS2, a total of 21 recombinant clones yielded ten different sequence types (pairwise sequence identity, 97.5–100%). They were mostly characterized by a varying number of (TCGT)nrepeats resulting in assortment of ITS2 sequences into two sequence variants, which reflected the structure specific for ITS paralogues. The third DNA region analysed, mitochondrialcox1 gene (669 bp) was detected to be 100% identical in all studiedA. sagittatusindividuals. Comparison of molecular data onA. sagittatuswith those onAtractolytocestus huronensisAnthony, 1958, an invasive parasite of common carp, has shown that interspecific differences significantly exceeded intraspecific variation in both ribosomal spacers (81.4–82.5% in ITS1, 74.4–75.2% in ITS2) as well as in mitochondrialcox1, which confirms validity of both congeneric tapeworms parasitic in the same fish host.
