Article Synopsis
- Thelazia callipaeda is a parasite that causes thelaziasis in various animals and humans, but its genetic population structure is not well understood.
- This study analyzed genetic variation in 32 T. callipaeda isolates from patients in China using multiple genetic markers, finding high diversity and identifying 21 haplotypes, primarily distinguishing populations between Europe and Asia.
- The research concluded that the Asian population shows significant genetic diversity but emphasizes the need for further research on its biology and epidemiology.
