Bras. Parasitol. Vet."],"abstract":"<jats:p>Abstract Cysticercus ovis or sheep measles is the larval stage of Taenia ovis, which is the intestinal tapeworm of dogs. It is found in the cardiac and skeletal muscles of sheep and can be the cause of partial or total condemnation of carcasses at abattoirs. The aim of the current work was to determine the prevalence of C. ovis among sheep in Upper Egypt and to present the molecular and phylogenetic analysis of this using the amplified Mitochondrial Cytochrome Oxidase subunit 1 (MT-CO1) gene. A total of 1885 sheep slaughtered at local abattoirs of 4 different governorates of Upper Egypt (Asuit, Sohag, Qena and Aswan) were carefully examined for C. ovis. The overall prevalence of infection was 2.02%. The highest rate of infection was observed in adult animals over 4 years of age (44.73%). There was no significant effect of animal sex on infection rates. The phylogenic analysis of C. ovis Egyptian isolates showed very close similarity to the New Zealand isolate (AB731675). This is the first report showing the genetic analysis of C. ovis in Egypt, which provides a very powerful tool for taxonomy and definitive diagnosis of C. ovis, which could be helpful for preventive and control programs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s1984-29612019028","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,26]],"date-time":"2019-06-26T15:19:28Z","timestamp":1561562368000},"page":"258-265","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Molecular phylogenetic analysis of Cysticercus ovis from Egypt based on MT-CO1 gene sequences"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Amer Ragheb","family":"Abdelaziz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Sohag University,  Egypt"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1810-9501","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Reda Elbastawisy","family":"Khalafalla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kafrelsheikh University,  Egypt"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amal Abbas Abdelrahman","family":"Hassan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Damanhur University,  Egypt"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ehab Kotb","family":"Elmahallawy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sohag University,  Egypt"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abdulaziz Mohammed","family":"Almuzaini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Qassim University,  Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"530","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Studies on metacestode of sheep with reference to serodiagnosis of Coenurus cerebralis","author":"Abedl-Maogood SZ","year":"2005"},{"issue":"1","key":"ref2","first-page":"79","article-title":"Prevalence of tissue parasites among slaughtered animals in Dakahlia province, Mansoura","volume":"10","author":"Abu-Elwafa S","year":"2008","journal-title":"Med Vet J"},{"key":"ref3","series-title":"Essentials of cestodology.
