Global Comparative Phylogeography of E. granulosus s.s. Inferred From Mitochondrial DNA: Integrated Datasets of GenBank and Newly Characterized Isolates From Afghanistan.

Abstract excerpt

Cystic echinococcosis (CE), caused by Echinococcus granulosus sensu stricto (E. granulosus s.s.), remains a major zoonotic disease of global public health importance. Afghanistan is considered endemic for CE; however, molecular data on circulating parasite populations are extremely scarce. This study aimed to characterize the genetic diversity, population structure, and global phylogeographic relationships of E....
