GENETIC IDENTIFICATION AND PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS OF DERMACENTOR SP. TICKS IN IRKUTSK REGION
Abstract
Here we present the results of the analysis of mt16S ribosomal RNA gene of two species of ticks from Irkutsk region - Dermacentor nuttalli and D. silvarum.. The ticks from are closely related to each other with 99-100 % identity of nucleotide sequence of mt16S rRNA gene. The phylogenetic analysis has shown that both species are closely related and. formed the separate clade together with specimens of D. nuttalli and. D. silvarum. from China.
