Occurrence and molecular characterization of Echinococcus granulosus in Turkish mouflon (Ovis gmelinii anatolica)

Global Distribution of Alveolar and Cystic Echinococcosis

“…However, a wild animal cycle has been documented in Iran and Turkey involving wolf, jackal, hyena and red fox as definitive hosts, and wild sheep (Ovis orientalis) and the goitered gazelle (Gazella subgutturosa) as intermediate hosts (Dalimi et al, 2002(Dalimi et al, , 2006Eslami et al, 1981Eslami et al, , 2016Simsek and Eroksuz, 2009). p1405…”

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

“…Ribosomal DNA-internal transcribed spacer gene 1 (rDNA-ITS1) was amplified from each sample using the BD1 and 4S primers. For each set of PCRs, positive (EU503084) (20) and negative (no-DNA) controls were included. All PCR products were digested by four-base cutting restriction endonucleases (AluI and RsaI, Bioron, Germany; MspI and HhaI, Fermentas, Lithuania).…”

“…The mitochondrial ND1 region was amplified by PCR using MS1 and MS2 primers (22 of PCRs, positive [G1: EU503084 (20), and G6-G10 complex: GU951511 (18)] and negative (no-DNA) controls were included. Four microliters of each PCR products were mixed with 12 µl of denaturating buffer.…”

Genotypic characterization of Echinococcus granulosus in Iranian goats

“…At present several studies have been performed on the genotypes/strains of E. granulosus originating from goats in Iran [12,16,17,20,22,23] . G1 strain has been reported in goat's isolates from Spain and Turkey [33][34][35] . Although, a study has reported goats acted as reservoir host for E. canadensis (G6) in Neuquen, Argentina [36] .…”
