molecular characterization of echinococcus granulosus from peru by sequencing of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene.	echinococcus granulosus, the etiologic agent of cystic echinococcosis (ce) in humans and other animal species, is distributed worldwide. ten intra-specific variants, or genotypes (g1-g10), have been defined based on genetic diversity. to determine the genotypes present in endemic areas of peru, samples were collected from cattle (44), sheep (41) and humans (14) from junín, puno huancavelica, cusco, arequipa and ayacucho. dna was extracted from protoscolex and/or germinal layers derived from 99 e ...	2010	20944997
echinococcus granulosus genotypes circulating in alpacas (lama pacos) and pigs (sus scrofa) from an endemic region in peru.	the identification of the genotypes of echinococcus granulosus present in livestock and wild animals within regions endemic for cystic echinococcosis (ce) is epidemiologically important. individual strains display different biological characteristics that contribute to outbreaks of ce and that must be taken into account in the design of intervention programs. in this study, samples of hydatid cysts due to e. granulosus were collected from alpacas (4) in puno and pigs (8) in ayacucho in peru, an ...	2012	22415269
