| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Taenia tapeworms collected from humans were examined for the mitochondrial cox1 gene and two nuclear genes, ef1, elp and pold. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that Taenia saginata and Taenia asiatica were once separated into two distinct taxa. On the other hand, some worms showed nuclear-mitochondrial discordance. Those facts indicate that they originated from hybridization between T. saginata and T. asiatica.
