Abstract
Cystic echinococcosis is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by Echinococcus species. Tanzania is one of the endemic countries with cystic echinococcosis. This study focussed on identifying genotypes of Echinococcus spp. in Tanzania. We collected 7 cysts from cattle in Mwanza municipal (n=4) and Loliondo district (n=3). The cysts from Mwanza were all E. ortleppi and fertile. In contrast, the cysts from Loliondo were all E. granulosus sensu stricto and sterile. Two from the 4 cysts were a new haplotype of E. ortleppi (G5). These results can improve the preventive and control programs for humans and livestock in Tanzania. To our knowledge, this study is considered the first to identify the genotype and haplotype of Echinococcus spp. in Tanzania.
囊性棘球蚴病是一种由棘球绦虫引起的人畜共患寄生虫病。坦桑尼亚是囊性包虫病的流行国家之一。本研究旨在鉴定坦桑尼亚棘球蚴的基因型。我们从Mwanza市(n=4)和Loliondo区(n=3)的牛身上收集了7个囊肿。Mwanza的囊肿都是E. ortleppi和肥沃的。相比之下，Loliondo的囊肿均为感觉性细粒棘球绦虫(E. granulosus sensu strict)和无菌。4个囊中有2个为新单倍型(G5)。这些结果可以改善坦桑尼亚人类和牲畜的预防和控制方案。据我们所知，本研究被认为是首次在坦桑尼亚鉴定棘球绦虫的基因型和单倍型。
期刊介绍：
The Korean Journal of Parasitology is the official journal paperless, on-line publication after Vol. 53, 2015 of The Korean Society for Parasitology and Tropical Medicine. Abbreviated title is ‘Korean J Parasitol’. It was launched in 1963. It contains original articles, case reports, brief communications, reviews or mini-reviews, book reviews, and letters to the editor on parasites of humans and animals, vectors, host-parasite relationships, zoonoses, and tropical medicine. It is published bimonthly in February, April, June, August, October, and December each year. Supplement numbers are at times published. All of the manuscripts are peer-reviewed.
