Title: Genotyping of Echinococcus granulosus (Hydatid cyst) isolated from domestic animals in Kurdistan - Iraq
Abstract: Hydatid disease is a silent helminthic disease caused by metacestode of dog tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus , with medical and economic impact, the recently DNA markers allowed to identify 10 distinct genotypes of Echinococcus granulosus (G1-G10). The present study is to genotyping of E. granulosus (Hydatid cyst) isolated from intermediate host. The partial DNA sequences of mtCO1 gene followed to detect genetic variation of E.granulosus. The result of nucleotide sequence alignment with the recorded nucleotide in the NCBI indicated that all samples belong to the sheep strain, and there is a slight variation among sheep strain. A new variant strain was reported and deposited in the GenBank under Variant G1(Kurdistan strain) with accession number G1(JX878691), Sheep strain G1 (JX878689) and (JX878693). The present study concluded the sheep strain is predominant genotype of E. granulosus in Kurdistan-Iraq, also it can be concluded that sheep strain generally responsible for hydatid disease among animal and human.
