Abstract

The ITS-2 sequences from seven worms of the Japanese triploid form of Fasciola, two of Fasciola hepatica from Uruguay and four of Fasciola gigantica from Zambia and Indonesia were determined. The ITS-2 sequences of the Japanese triploid worms were divided into two distinct types, one of which was almost identical to that of F. hepatica and the other to F. gigantica from Indonesia.
