Genomic analysis of Echinococcus granulosus sensu stricto: genetic diversity and population structure

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Cystic echinococcosis, caused by the tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus sensu stricto (ss), is a globally distributed, zoonotic disease that is recognised by WHO as a neglected tropical disease. Despite its clinical and economic importance, nuclear genomic variation in this parasite has not been systematically characterised across global populations. In this study, we aimed to characterise the...
