- 22 July 2010
It is shown that analysis of amino acids provides a robust estimate of phylogeny for the genus that differs markedly from morphological estimates or those using partial genes; with implications for understanding the evolutionary radiation of important Taenia.

The Mitochondrial Genome of Paramphistomum cervi (Digenea), the First Representative for the Family Paramphistomidae
- Hong-bin Yan, Xing-Ye Wang, W. Jia
- BiologyPLoS ONE
- 22 August 2013
Bayesian phylogenetic analyses, based on concatenated nucleotide sequences and amino-acid sequences of the 12 protein-coding genes, placed P. cervi within the Order Plagiorchiida, but relationships were not quite as expected from previous studies.

Genetic characterization of Toxoplasma gondii from Qinghai vole, Plateau pika and Tibetan ground-tit on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China
- Xiao-Xuan Zhang, Z. Lou, Xing-Quan Zhu
- BiologyParasites & Vectors
- 9 October 2013
The results show that there is a potential risk for the transmission of this parasite through the wildlife in this region and the first report of genetic typing of T. gondii isolates in wildlife on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China.
Echinococcus granulosus (sensu stricto) (G1, G3) and E. ortleppi (G5) in Pakistan: phylogeny, genetic diversity and population structural analysis based on mitochondrial DNA

- BiologyParasites & Vectors
- 13 July 2020
The genetic variation of E. granulosus population for the first time in Pakistan is described using the complete cox1 and nad1 mitochondrial genes and E. ortleppi is confirmed as one of the causative agents of CE among livestock in Pakistan.

The comparatively higher prevalence estimates for eastern and northern Africa than other regions indicate where efforts on CE management should now be given greater attention in Africa and advocates for better cooperation between countries within the same sub-region and the establishment of joint CE control programmes.
First molecular description, phylogeny and genetic variation of Taenia hydatigena from Nigerian sheep and goats based on three mitochondrial genes

- 5 November 2019
The genetic variation and diversity of T. hydatigena population for the first time in Nigeria is described using full-length mitochondrial genes and the existence of host-specific variants is suggested.
