Interspecific characterization of several taeniid cestodes by isoenzyme analysis using isoelectric focusing in agarose

Abstract

Taenia cestodes were obtained from 5 different definitive host species in Kenya and 175 different samples were examined by classical morphological methods and by isoenzyme analysis using isoelectric focusing in agarose. Gels were stained for 17 different enzymes and 3 of these were used in the construction of isoenzyme profiles. The samples fell into 25 zymodemes, and no zymodeme contained more than 1 species of Taenia, indicating that isoenzyme analysis can reliably be used for the identification of species of this genus.
