Molecular identification of zoonotic taeniids metacestodes in several rodent species trapped in Central Europe
This study presents the first comprehensive molecular data on the aforementioned zoonotic cestode species in the Czech Republic. The findings demonstrate the importance of using molecular techniques for Taeniidae species determination, as morphological methods may lead to erroneous classifications. Furthermore, this research highlights the importance of accurate diagnostic techniques, enabling the development of effective prevention and control strategies by verifying host-parasite relationships.
