We obtained ribosomal and mitochondrial DNA sequences from residents of Amazonas state, Brazil, with Mansonella parasitemias. Phylogenetic analysis of these sequences confirm that M. ozzardi and M. perstans parasites occur in sympatry and reveal the close relationship between M. perstans in Africa and Brazil, providing insights into the parasite's New World origins.
我们从巴西亚马孙州患有曼氏丝虫血症的居民身上获取了核糖体和线粒体DNA序列。对这些序列的系统发育分析证实,奥氏曼森线虫和常现曼森线虫寄生虫在同域出现,并揭示了非洲和巴西的常现曼森线虫之间的密切关系,为该寄生虫在新大陆的起源提供了见解。
