Abstract:
:Diphyllobothrium nihonkaiense [Y. Yamane, H. Kamo, G. Bylund, J.P. Wilkgren. Diphyllobothrium nihonkaiense sp. nov (Cestoda: Diphyllobothriidae)- revised identification of Japanese broad tapeworm. Shimane J Med Sci 1986;10:29-48.] and Diphyllobothrium klebanovskii [I.V. Muratov, P.S. Posokhov. Causative agent of human diphyllobothriasis - Diphyllobothrium klebanovskii sp. n. Parazitologiia. 1988;22:165-170.] are two major species of human diphyllobothriasis in Japan and Far East Russia, respectively, but their taxonomical relationship remains unclear. In this study, we analysed the DNA sequences of 16 clinical isolates of D. nihonkaiense from Japanese people, 3 isolates of D. klebanovskii from a bear in Kamchatka, and 4 clinical isolates of D. klebanovskii from native Udygeyci people in Russia, as well as 4 plerocercoids from Oncorhynchus spp. 18S rDNA and internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) sequences from D. nihonkaiense and D. klebanovskii showed a high level of similarity, indicating synonymy of the two species. Analyses of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence polymorphisms in the cox1 and nad3 genes of D. nihonkaiense (D. klebanovskii) revealed two deeply divergent lineages, A and B, with genetic distances (Kimura-2 parameter) of 0.018-0.022. Furthermore, the distinct monophyletic groupings of cox1 haplotypes corresponded to the distinct monophyletic groupings of nad3 haplotypes. The two lineages were neither distinguished by morphological features nor defined by the localities of the samples. These results suggest that the two morphologically cryptic lineages have diverged and coexisted over a long period of time.
