The first molecular detection of a Theileria-like species (Apicomplexa: Piroplasmida) in Meriones persicus from western Iran. [PDF]
J Parasit Dis, 2020 The archived blood of rodents species such as Meriones, Mus, and Microtus species was investigated in order to detect any piroplasms species. In this study 18S rRNA target gene of piroplasm parasite was amplified by PCR in a Meriones persicus; so, the Locus 1 and Locus 2 of 18S rRNA were sequenced, successfully.
