Cyathostomins are the
most common and important group of large intestine nematodes, infecting horses
worldwide. The current control strategy is associated with the development of
anthelmintic resistance, which has been reported worldwide. Therefore,
experiments with this family of parasites have become progressively important
to provide their monitoring and control strategies. The aim of the present
study was to propose a faster and more economic assay for isolation of genomic
DNA from the adult stage of Cyathostomin parasites than reported. Adult
parasites were collected from a single horse from a farm in São José dos
Pinhais, PR, Brazil, and were identified. Genomic DNA was isolated from ten
individual female adult parasites using a standardized procedure developed.
Then, extraction from ten individual female was carried out by another DNA
extraction method. DNA concentration from both methods were measured and
compared. We obtained a good DNA quality with this standardized procedure. As a
result of this analysis, we propose a modified phenol-chloroform method, which
will contribute to assays that require DNA extraction from adult worms for
genomic DNA sequences of cyathostomin, or species-specific identification.
