Cystic Echinococcosis of Camels: 12S rRNA Gene Variation Revealed Changing Pattern of Genetic Diversity Within Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato in the Middle East and North/Sub-Saharan Africa.

ABSTRACT: Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is one of the most widespread zoonotic diseases, with considerable public health and economic importance. Camels play a significant role in transmission cycle of Echinococcus granulosus especially, in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). The present study aimed to identify the genetic variation and haplotype distribution of camel isolates of E. granulosus sensu lato using all existing E. granulosus mitochondrial DNA data from camels in different parts of the world. Sequence data from 1,144 camel isolates of E. granulosus s.l. available in the NCBI GenBank including 57 camel hydatid cysts collected in central Iran were used to analyze the nature of genetic variation within the camel isolates of E. granulosus s.l. in MENA regi
