Abstract
A RAPD analysis was carried out in parasitic nematodes Trichinella spiralis and T. pseudospiralis, which are among the most common and hazardous agent s in human and animal helminthoses. Several RAPD fragments were cloned and some of them sequenced. The fragments were shown to correspond to unique or low-repetitive sequences and to contain ORFs, microsatellites, and regions homologous to various pro- and eukaryotic sequences. Several fragments can be used to distinguish between T. spiralis and T. pseudospiralis.
