Abstract:
b cytochrome oxydase gene fragment of the mitochondric geneme includes 652 nucleotides and aminoacide of taenia solium isolated from Vietnamese [symbolized as TsoN (VN)] was received by PCR reaction, purified, cloning and expressed in sequence. Results were compared with those of corresponding sequence of some genera of Taenia solium in China (T. saginata) in Taiwan (Taeniaasiatica) and in Viet Nam. Cysticercoid larve of Taenia solium isolated from Vietnamese was similar with that isolated from pig in Viet Nam and China, but there are high difference between the genera T. saginata (in China) and T. asiatica (in Taiwan and Viet Nam). The analysis determinated various varieties of eysticercoid larve as Taenia sodium’s larva. This is the first determination of this genus in Viet Nam
