Abstract excerpt
Taenia hydatigena is a cestode of veterinary importance. Infection with the metacestode larval stage results in cysticercosis, which poses a serious challenge to the livestock industry worldwide. Globally, there are numerous reports on cysticercosis caused by T. hydatigena in sheep and goat but a lack of data on the prevalence and genetic diversity exists for Pakistan. We designed this study to provide an insight...
