Abstract excerpt
Cystic echinococcosis (CE), caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato (s.l.), remains a significant zoonotic parasitic infection worldwide. This study provides a preliminary investigation of the nuclear Hsp90 gene diversity within the E. granulosus s.l. complex to evaluate its potential use for species identification. Forty-nine DNA samples of the G1 genotype from human and animal CE cysts,...
