DNA sequences of ITS-1 and ITS-2 of rDNA were determined for 16 individual adult males each of Ostertagia gruehneri and Ostertagia arctica from Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus) and Eurasian tundra reindeer (R. t. tarandus). Each ITS was virtually identical in O. gruehneri and O. arctica and the three mixed bases detected were shared by both species. Our results strongly suggest that O. gruehneri and O. arctica are dimorphic males of the same species.
对来自斯瓦尔巴德驯鹿(Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus)和欧亚苔原驯鹿(R. t. tarandus)的格鲁内氏奥斯特他线虫(Ostertagia gruehneri)和北极奥斯特他线虫(Ostertagia arctica)的16只成年雄性个体,分别测定了核糖体DNA的ITS-1和ITS-2的DNA序列。在格鲁内氏奥斯特他线虫和北极奥斯特他线虫中,每个ITS实际上是相同的,并且检测到的三个混合碱基为两个物种所共有。我们的结果有力地表明,格鲁内氏奥斯特他线虫和北极奥斯特他线虫是同一物种的二态雄性。
