The first molecular detection of a Theileria-like species (Apicomplexa: Piroplasmida) in Meriones persicus from western Iran

The archived blood of rodents species such as Meriones , Mus , and Microtus species was investigated in order to detect any piroplasms species. In this study 18S rRNA target gene of piroplasm parasite was amplified by PCR in a Meriones persicus ; so, the Locus 1 and Locus 2 of 18S rRNA were sequence...

Zusammenfassung:	The archived blood of rodents species such as Meriones , Mus , and Microtus species was investigated in order to detect any piroplasms species. In this study 18S rRNA target gene of piroplasm parasite was amplified by PCR in a Meriones persicus ; so, the Locus 1 and Locus 2 of 18S rRNA were sequenced, successfully. A Theileria -like taxa was suspected in accordance with the BLAST analysis of 18S rRNA L1 and L2 with 96% and 91% sequence homology, respectively. The present study was the first report of a Theileria -like species in M. persicus from Iran.
