| 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 |
