ORIGINAL ARTICLE

Biochemical differentiation in bile duct cestodes and their marsupial hosts

PR Baverstock, M Adams and I Beveridge
Evolutionary Biology Unit, South Australian Museum, Adelaide.

Isozyme electrophoresis was used to assess possible cospeciation of parasites (cestodes of the Progamotaenia festiva complex) and their hosts (Australian diprotodont marsupials) and to compare the extent of interspecific genetic diversity of the parasites and their hosts. On the basis of morphology, there are three species in the complex, although electrophoresis revealed 14 distinct genetic types, most of which were host specific, although there were three cases of apparent host switching. The evolutionary relationships among the parasites were only partially concordant with those among the hosts. Moreover, the extent of electrophoretic diversity among the parasites was much higher than that among hosts.
