Aim: This study was conducted to study the coagulase gene-based genetic diversity of , isolated from different samples of cattle using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and their sequence-based phylogenetic analysis.
Materials And Methods: A total of 192 different samples from mastitic milk, nasal cavity, and pus from skin wounds of cattle from Military Dairy Farm, Jammu, India, were screened for the presence of . The presumptive isolates were confirmed by gene-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
Karyotypes of three species of Bothriocephalus were studied using conventional Giemsa staining and comparative karyometric analysis. Bothriocephalus claviceps and Bothriocephalus gregarius showed a karyotype with 2n = 14 chromosomes. All chromosomes of B.
