[ 1 ] - Genetic Variability of Antigen B8/1 among Echinococcus granulosus Isolates from Human, Cattle, and Sheep in Fars Province, Southern Iran

Background: Cystic echinococcosis (CE), known as hydatid cyst, is a zoonotic parasitic infection caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus (E. granulosus). Antigen B, the major component of hydatid cyst fluid, is encoded by members of a multigene family. The present study aimed to evaluate the genetic diversity of the gene encoding antigen B8/1 (EgAgB8/1) among the main intermediate...
