Molecular and phylogenetic identification of cestodes from rodents in the Mazury Lake District region of Poland

Summary of tapeworm species, their geographical distribution, host species, genotyped gene fragments, and corresponding GenBank accession numbers.The table contains data on the identification of cestode species (Cestoda) based on morphological and molecular analyses, collected from various locations (Urwitalt, Talty, Pilchy) between 2014 and 2023. It includes developmental stages (larvae and adults) and species identification using genetic sequences. Table Columns: Site: Sampling location (Urwitalt, Talty, Pilchy). Year: Year of sample collection (2014–2023). Developmental stage: Developmental stage of the cestode (larvae or adult). Cestode species (morphological): Cestode species identified based on morphological characteristics. Cestode species (molecular): Cestode species identified based on molecular analyses. GenBank ID: GenBank identifiers for genetic markers (cox1, 12S rDNA, nad1, 12S-16S rDNA, 28S rDNA). "nd" indicates no data available. Notes: Data include both morphological and molecular species identification. "nd" indicates the absence of data for a specific genetic marker. The table primarily includes species such as Catenotaenia sp., Mesocestoides sp., Skrjabinotaenia sp., and Paranoplocephala sp., with varying availability of molecular data.
