Abstract excerpt
The genetic diversity of Echinococcus granulosus sensu stricto (s.s.) metacestodes from four European countries was evaluated by the DNA sequence analysis of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) mitochondrial gene. Of the 312 organisms investigated, 132 were from Bulgaria, 35 from Hungary, 89 from Italy and 56 from Romania. Considerable intraspecific variation was observed in the mitochondrial cox1...
