Molecular identification of Echinococcus granulosus genotypes (G1 and G7) isolated from pigs in Mexico

Molecular Characterization of Human and Animal Isolates of Echinococcus granulosus in the Thrace Region, Turkey

“…It is found in parts of South America, South and East Europe, North and East Africa, Asia and Australia. The pig strain (G7) is found in some countries in central and east Europe, parts of Russia, and Mexico and Peru (48)(49)(50). The pig strain is considered to have low infectivity for human, however, infected human cases with pig strain have been recorded in Poland and Turkey (8,13,51).…”

Echinococcus canadensis G7 (Pig Strain): An Underestimated Cause of Cystic Echinococcosis in Austria

“…Furthermore, another possible reason for the underestimation of the pig strain as a causative agent of human CE in Europe might be the small number of samples that have been examined genetically so far, 4 and that infection of pigs with the sheep strain occurred frequently. [12][13][14] From the samples of CE patients of Austrian origin ( N = 25), all except two belonged to E. canadensis G7, the pig strain ( Table 1 ). Regarding the two E. granulosus G1-infected patients of Austrian origin, our attempts to obtained travel anamnesis data were successful.…”

Global Distribution of Alveolar and Cystic Echinococcosis

“…However, such prevention programs could become cost-saving in areas of localized outbreaks or in high-risk communities. s0255 3.1.4 Mexico p0765 Host assemblages and transmission: In Mexico, CE is predominantly maintained by the swineedog assemblage (E. intermedius, G7) (Cruz- Rodriguez-Prado et al, 2014;Villalobos et al, 2007). Echinococcus oligarthra has been found in a bobcat (Salinas-L opez et al, 1996).…”
