Abstract: The DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and 5.8S rDNA of ascaris from the Puma concolor and the Ursus thibetanus in Guangzhou zoo were amplified by PCR respectively using a pair of conserved primers and the amplicons were cloned into pGEM-T Easy vector. The positive clones identified by PCR amplification were sequenced and analyzed, and compared with relevant sequence in GenBankTM. The results revealed that the ITS and 5.8S sequence of the ascaris from Puma concolor and the ITS-2 sequence from Ursus thibetanus were significantly similar with that of Toxascaris leonina and Baylisascaris transfuga available in GenBankTM respectively. We concluded that the ascaris from Puma concolor represent the T. leonina, and that from Ursus thibetanus represent the B. Transfuga.
