Cystic echinococcosis is a zoonotic disease with worldwide distribution caused by the larval stage of the Cestode parasite Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato. Due to the predominance or even the exclusive presence of E. granulosus sensu stricto (s.s.) among E. granulosus species in many areas, the genetic diversity needs to be further investigated at the species level to better understand the inter- and...
