title: Intraspecific variability among NADH dehydrogenase subunit 1 sequences of Taenia hydatigena.
abstract: This paper describes intraspecific variability of the partial sequences of the mitochondrial ND1 gene among isolates of Taenia hydatigena from pigs in Poland, Ukraine and Wales. The differences between studied isolates ranged from 0.4 to 5.5%, which exceeds the variability within the same fragment between the different genetic variants of Echinococcus multilocularis and is comparable with the variability between the most closely related strains (G5/G6/G7) of E. granulosus. The biggest difference (5.5%) was found between the geographically most distant Ukrainian and Welsh samples of T. hydatigena while the samples collected from the neighbouring locations in Poland, were most similar to each other.
