Abstract: The genomic DNA was extracted from the sheep hydatid cyst protoscolices from Qinghai Province in China. EG95 gene was amplified with a pair of specific primers using polymerase chain reaction(PCR), and cloned into pGEMT Easy plasmid. The recombinant plasmids were characterized with PCR, EcoRⅠ enzyme digestion and sequencing. The EG95QH DNA sequences were analyzed by DNAstar biosoftware. The DNA sequences of three clone fragments revealed that EG95QH sequences belong to the same EG95 gene family with the length of
1435-1437bp and that there are 73.2%-99.2% homology with EG95 gene , varies between EG95QH and other EG95 genes in GenBank. The multiple nucleotide differences are present in the noncoding gene regions. EG95QH2 is close to EG951, EG952 and EG953, and difference from EG95QH1 and EG95QH3. EG95QH1 and EG95QH3 are close to EG95XJag and EG954.
