Molecular characterization of 5S ribosomal spacer sequences of Dirofilaria repens microfilariae in dogs in Kerala, India.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The present study reports the characteristics of the 5S rRNA spacer sequences of Dirofilaria repens microfilariae isolated from dogs. The 22 nucleotide long spliced leader 1 sequences located in the 5S rRNA spacer region are completely conserved in all nematodes. There is variation in the spliced leader 1 sequences and associated sites in the 5S rRNA spacer region of D. repens. Absence of canonical SL 1 sequences distinguishes D. repens from other filarial species.
