Abstract:
Nucleotide sequences of a 471 bp region of the mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase 1 gene were obtained for 59 Echinococcus isolates including representatives of each of the 4 recognised species. Ten distinct genotypes were detected among these isolates, including 6 within E. granulosus. This information complements and extends knowledge of inter- and intraspecific variation within Echinococcus and should prove useful in phylogenetic studies.
