Abstract
The partial mitochondrial cytochrome c-oxidase subunit 1 gene (cox 1) and partial mitochondrial 16S ribosomal DNA of Trichuris skrjabini (Baskakov 1924) isolated from Capra hircus have been amplified and sequenced. The analyses of multiple sequence alignments of mitochondrial 16S rDNA and cox 1 of T. skrjabini revealed high homology with those of Trichinella species. For the first time, the mitochondrial DNA gene sequences of one species of trichurid nematode have been cited.
