Molecular Characterization of Fasciola Flukes using Mitochondrial 28S rRNA Gene in Naimi Saudi Sheep

Fasciolosis is a parasitic disease of medical and economic importance. This retrospective study was conducted on 110 Fasciola flukes collected from livers of 14 infected Naimi sheep slaughtered at Riyadh abattoir in Saudi Arabia during winter season of 2016. Collected specimens were analyzed for their species
identification on the basis of partial sequences of mitochondrial 28S rRNA gene. Results have shown
the presence of both Fasciola hepatica (F. hepatica) and Fasciola gigantica (F. gigantica) species. Where
Fasciola hepatica was predominate (80%). Both intra-species and interspecies genetic distance was studied
and results showed that the intraspecific variability among individuals of both species i.e., F. hepatica and
F. gigantica, ranging between 0 and 1% while the interspecific diversity between F. hepatica and F. gigantica was only 1%. In conclusion, mitochondrial 28S rRNA gene is a proved as a good marker in identifying
Fasciola of different species. Where, the F. hepatica and F. gigantica are present in sheep breed in Riyadh
region, Saudi Arabia.
