Isolated Human and Livestock Echinococcus granulosus Genotypes Using Real-Time PCR of cox1 Gene in Northeast Iran

Cystic echinococcosis (CE), caused by the metacestode of Echinococcus granulosus, is highly endemic over large parts of Iran. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence rate of hydatidosis and mitochondrial cox1 real-time PCR with high-resolution melting curve (HRM) analysis of E. granulosus isolated from human and livestock. In this cross-sectional study, 61 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue isolates were collected from...
