A fragment of a Dracunculus-like worm was extracted from the hind limb of a 2-year-old dog from Toledo, Spain. Cytochrome oxidase I and rRNA sequences confirmed an autochthonous mammalian Dracunculus worm infection in Europe. Sequence analyses suggest close relation to a parasite obtained from a North American opossum.
从西班牙托莱多的一只 2 岁狗的后肢中提取出一段似旋毛虫样的虫体片段。细胞色素氧化酶 I 和 rRNA 序列证实了在欧洲存在土源性哺乳动物旋毛虫感染。序列分析表明,它与从北美的负鼠中获得的寄生虫密切相关。
