Characterization of the <it>Taenia </it>spp HDP2 sequence and development of a novel PCR-based assay for discrimination of <it>Taenia saginata </it>from <it>Taenia asiatica</it>

<p>Abstract</p> <p>A previously described <it>Taenia saginata </it>HDP2 DNA sequence, a 4-kb polymorphic fragment, was previously used as the basis for developing PCR diagnostic protocols for the species-specific discrimination of <it>T. saginata </it>from &...
