Molecular Characterization of Echinococcus granulosus Isolated from Sheep and Camel in Iran

Molecular Characterization of Echinococcus granulosus Isolated from Sheep and Camel in Iran

SUmmJlry Forty-eight isolates of hydatid cyst collected from sheep and camels slaughtered in different areas of Iran were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism techniques. The results indicated that the isolates could be categorized into two distinct and uniform genotype grouping, the camel/dog strain,group (Genotype 6) and cosmopolitan common sheep ...

Molecular Characterization of Echinococcus granulosus in South of Iran

The focus of present study was to determine the epidemiological and molecular aspects of different strains of cystic echinococcosis in Fars province, Iran. Liver and lung samples from 410 sheep, 206 goats and 315 cattle were collected. In cattle, the infestation rate was 18.1% (57/315), with 11.1% hepatic cysts and 7.0% pulmonary cysts. Out of all identified cysts, 31.4% of the hepatic and 31.8...

Molecular Characterization of Echinococcus granulosus from Hydatid Cysts Isolated from Human and Animals in Golestan Province, North of Iran

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to determine the molecular characteristics of Echinococcus granulosus from paraffin-embedded tissues of hydatid cysts isolated from human and protoscoleces of hydatid cysts from sheep, cattle and camel isolates using PCR- RFLP of ITS1- rDNA analysis in Golestan Province, northern Iran. METHODS E. granulosus isolates from human patients infected with...

Genetic Variability of Antigen B2 of Human, Sheep, Goats, Camel and Cattle Isolates of Echinococcus granulosus in Iran

BACKGROUND Antigen B (AgB) is frequently used for immuno-diagnosis of human cystic echinococcosis (CE). Echinococcus granulosus AgBs show a high degree of genetic variability in different hosts or in different CE endemic areas. The present study aimed to evaluate the genetic polymorphisms of encoding antigen B2 gene (AgB2) among different Iranian isolates of E. granulosus. METHODS A total of ...
