Gene sequence analysis on CO1 and ND1 of Echinococcus g ranulosus / 中国人兽共患病学报

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to clarify the strains of E .granulosus from sheep of Xiwuqi and people of Xil-inhot in Inner Mongolia region and its genotypes .CO1 and ND1 of mitochondria gene were cloned and sequenced ,and then they were analyzed by MegAlign of DNAStar5 .0 .Results showed that the length of CO1 and ND1 gene of E .granulosus ,which were from sheep of Xiwuqi or people of Xilinhot ,were 936 bp and 895 bp ,respectively .The homology of CO1 gene sequences of E .granulosus strains from Xiwuqi and Xinjiang was 99 .3% ,while the homology of the corresponding gene sequences of E .granulosus from man of Xilinhot City and Xinjiang were 98 .6% .ND1 gene of E .granulosus of sheep from Xiwuqi and hu-man from Xilinhot were identical to ND1 gene of G1 type .All these indicated that the homology of E .granulosus from the two regions were high and the genotype were G1 type ,which provided an important basis for the determination of strains ,and it al-so had a great significance to prevent and control the disease .
