Overview

Investigation of genetic diversity and evolutionary links in Ascaris species, suggesting implications for zoonotic transmission.

Key Points

  • The aim is to assess genetic diversity and evolutionary relationships of Ascaris species using mitochondrial markers.
  • Analysis of mitochondrial genes nad1 and cox1 from human and pig-derived Ascaris.
  • Phylogenetic and haplotype network analyses to examine genetic relationships.
  • Utilization of newly generated and publicly available sequence data.
  • Distinct clustering observed among Ascaris lumbricoides and Ascaris suum sequences.
  • Identification of 27 nad1 haplotypes, with significant regional diversity.
  • Cox1 analysis revealed both global and region-specific clusters of human-derived sequences.
