Abstract excerpt
Background: Hydatid disease remains a major concern in sheep farming, particularly in endemic areas such as Iraq. Aim: This study aimed to explore the molecular characteristics of Echinococcus granulosus isolated from sheep using multilocus genetic analysis. Methods: Fertile cysts were collected from sheep slaughtered in Diwaniyah and processed for DNA extraction. Four genetic loci-ACT-2, COX1, CYT, and ND1-were...
