Molecular identification of Baylisascaris melis (Gedoelst, 1920) from the Eurasian badger (Meles meles) and ascarids from other wild carnivores in Kazakhstan
The study provides the world's first molecular data and phylogenetic analysis of <i>Baylisascaris melis</i>, identified for the second time since its description over 100 years ago. This species was shown to be genetically distinct from other <i>Baylisascaris</i> spp. (<i>B. columnaris</i>, <i>B. procyonis</i>, <i>B. transfuga</i>, <i>B. devosi</i>). The possible zoonotic significance of ascarids from wild carnivores is discussed in the light of conditions in Central Asia.
