Assessment of genetic markers for multilocus sequence typing (MLST) of Fasciola isolates from Iran
Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 2, Page 924-933, March 2023., 2023 MLST analysis was developed based on five genes (ND1, Pepck, Pold, Cyt b and HSP70) after genomic DNA extraction, amplification and sequencing. Thirty‐three Fasciola isolates (19 F. hepatica and 14 F. gigantica) were obtained from the infected livers (sheep n = 16, cattle n = 48 and goat n = 4) in Kermanshah Province, Iran.
