Abstract
Background: Echinococcus granulosus is a zoonotic disease that is widespread worldwide.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the genetic diversity of E. granulosus isolates in sheep. Partial mitochondrial and nuclear gene sequences were used to determine intraspecific variation.
Methods: For this purpose, 41 sheep hydatid cyst isolates were collected from slaughterhouses in Elazig and Bingol provinces of Türkiye. Following genomic DNA isolation from the germinal membrane of the cysts, PCR amplification and subsequent DNA sequence analysis were performed using primers that amplify mitochondrial CO1, Nad5, and nuclear ef1α gene regions.
Results: DNA sequence analyses of mt-CO1 (1603 bp) and mt-Nad5 (625 bp) gene regions showed that 39 out of 41 isolates were identified as G1 and two isolates as G3. When the phylogenies formed by the sequences belonging to different gene regions were evaluated; in the phylogenetic tree created with the mt-CO1 and Nad5 gene dataset, G1 and G3 isolates were in separate clades with the reference sequences, while in the phylogenetic tree created with the nuclear gene region ef1α dataset, the isolate belonging to the G3 genotype (ef1a.01) formed a sister clade with the G1 genotypes and the reference sequence. According to the haplotype network results obtained, 14 haplotypes, 15 haplotypes, and two haplotypes were determined for mt-CO1, mt-Nad5, and ef1α gene regions, respectively. Haplotype analysis of mt-CO1 and mt-Nad5 gene regions revealed high haplotype and low nucleotide diversity. Low nucleotide diversity was detected, and two haplotypes were determined as a result of haplotype analysis ef1α (1343 bp) gene.
期刊介绍：
Veterinary Medicine and Science is the peer-reviewed journal for rapid dissemination of research in all areas of veterinary medicine and science. The journal aims to serve the research community by providing a vehicle for authors wishing to publish interesting and high quality work in both fundamental and clinical veterinary medicine and science.
Veterinary Medicine and Science publishes original research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and research methods papers, along with invited editorials and commentaries. Original research papers must report well-conducted research with conclusions supported by the data presented in the paper.
We aim to be a truly global forum for high-quality research in veterinary medicine and science, and believe that the best research should be published and made widely accessible as quickly as possible. Veterinary Medicine and Science publishes papers submitted directly to the journal and those referred from a select group of prestigious journals published by Wiley-Blackwell.
Veterinary Medicine and Science is a Wiley Open Access journal, one of a new series of peer-reviewed titles publishing quality research with speed and efficiency. For further information visit the Wiley Open Access website.
