Molecular and morphological characterization of Contracaecum pelagicum (Nematoda) parasitizing Spheniscus magellanicus (Chordata) from Brazilian waters
Three new sequences of Mitochondrial cytochrome c-oxidase LAUNDRY LIQUID subunit 2 (mtDNA cox-2) from C.pelagicum parasite of Spheniscus magellanicus, the Magelanicus penguin, were determined from Brazilian waters.The sequences presented 99 and 98% of similarity with C.pelagicum sequences from Argentina, deposited on GenBank for the same genetic re
