Sequence analysis, intra-genotyping variation, and phylogenetic study of nad1 gene in Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato genotypes from intermediate hosts in southwestern Iran.

Abstract excerpt

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato (s. l.). The disease is cosmopolitan, and Iran is a highly endemic area for CE. This parasite exhibits high genetic diversity, which can be related to its life cycle, transmission, and pathogenesis. This study was aimed at determining the phylogenetic relationship and intra-genotyping variation of E. granulosus s.l. in...
