Abstract excerpt
Background: Hydatid cysts are an immature form of Echinococcus granulosus tapeworm, which causes zoonotic illness, echinococcosis (sometimes called hydatidosis). There are 10 officially recognized genotypes (G1-G10) of this parasite. Aim: The current study aimed to sequence and characterize the genotypes of E. granulosus using the antigen B subunit 2 gene isolated from sheep in Al-Diwaniyah City, Iraq. Methods:...
