We conducted a differential identification of Taenia asiatica and Taenia saginata, through the mapping of mitochondrial genomes and the sequencing of the cox1 and cob genes. The entire mitochondrial genomes of T asiatica and T saginata were amplified by long-extension PCR and cloned; each was approximately 14 kb in size. Restriction maps of T asiatica and T saginata mitochondrial genomes were then constructed using 13 restriction enzymes. The resulting restriction patterns enable us to estimate their genetic divergence at 4.8%. The actual sequence divergence was computed 4.5% from the cox1 gene, and 4.1% from the cob gene. These results support the designation of T asiatica as a separate species from T saginata. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
