Genetic variants within the strains of
Echinococcus granulosus
by mitochondrial DNA sequencing

T
he pattern of strain variation within
Echinococcus granulosus
is complex and controversial. Cyst isolates were obtained
from different host species and the strain to which each belonged was established by basic and nested PCR. These results
were compared to those obtained by analysis of mitochondrial fragment sequences (NADH dehydrogenase 1) from each
isolate. The Libyan sheep strain corresponded with genotype 1 (G1) of the parasite, infecting Libyan sheep. And the Libyan
camel strain corresponded with genotype 6 (G6) of the parasite infecting camel, sheep. This circumstance and especially the
possibility of intermediate hosts serving as reservoirs of the G6 genotype of the parasite, must be taken into consideration by
authorities in order to develop and evaluate effective anti- hydatidosis programmes.
