In this paper, the mitochondrial gene NADH dehydrogenase subunit 1 (ND1) were used to determine the taxonomic status of ascarids from eight species of captive wild mammals (Ailuropoda melanoleuca, Ailurus fulgens,Ursus maritimus, Ursus arctos pruinosus, Ursus thibetanus mupinensis,Ursus arctos lasiotus,Pan troglodytes and Hylobates hoolock). Phylogenetic relationships were inferred by three methods (NJ/MP/ML) based on ND1 sequences. The alternative trees revealed that these roundworms were gathered together, suggested the ascarid nematodes from A. melanoleuca, A. fulgens and four species of bears belong to Baylisascaris,while worms from Pan troglodytes and Hylobates hoolock belong to Ascaris. The results supported the view that the roundworm from giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) was named as Baylisascaris schroederi, and proposed that roundworm from red panda (Ailurus fulgens) should be designated to Baylisascaris ailuri.
