Abstract:
A region of 326 bp of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase 1 (cox1) for Opisthorchis sp sample collected in An My, Tuy An, Phu Yen, was amplified using PCR. Nucleotide sequence of this cox1 fragment was used to comparatively analyzed with that of O. viverrini, strain Khon Kaen, Thailand, and C. sinensis sequences of Opisthorchis sp of Vietnam, China and Korea. The analysis revealed that nucleotide sequences of Opisthorchis sp of Vietnam has absolute homology to O. viverrini strain Khon Kaen, Thai Lan, but difference from C. sinensis originated from Vietnam, China and Korea. Opisthorchis sp of Vietnam isolated in Phu Yen is, thus, molecularly identified as Opisthorchis viverrini. This gives rise to establish a diagnostic approach and aspect of preventive/control for these species
