  • Title: Simple species identification of Trichinella isolates by amplification and sequencing of the 5S ribosomal DNA intergenic spacer region.
    Author: De Bruyne A, Yera H, Le Guerhier F, Boireau P, Dupouy-Camet J.
    Journal: Vet Parasitol; 2005 Sep 05; 132(1-2):57-61. PubMed ID: 15992998.
    Abstract:
    We developed a PCR-based assay using a single primer pair to amplify the 5S ribosomal DNA intergenic spacer region to identify Trichinella isolates. In our method, amplified products are directly sequenced on both strands and compared to GenBank sequences. Using this method, we were able to identify Trichinella spiralis, T. britovi and T. nativa. This method permits rapid species identification of Trichinella isolates; however, further evaluation is required before recommending this approach for routine use.
