Molecular characterization and prevalence of cystic echinococcosis in slaughtered water buffaloes in Turkey
چکیده انگلیسی

The present study was carried out between March 2006 and June 2010. During the study nine abattoirs were visited and 166 water buffalo internal organs were examined in Black Sea Region of Turkey. It was found that 10.24% buffaloes were infected with cystic echinococcosis (CE). The rate of CE found as 3.77% in males and 21.66% in females, 37.93% in older and 4.38% in young animals. The degree of prevalence according to age and sex was statistically significant (p < 0.05). CE was observed 29.41% only in liver, 47.06% only in lungs and 23.53% in both liver and lungs. Therefore, the lungs were the predominant sites of the CE in buffaloes. Molecular identification on nine isolates, based on mitochondrial cox1 sequencing analyses, revealed that six cysts belonged to G1 genotype (domestic sheep strain) while 3 samples showed variant genotypes of Echinococcus granulosus complex G1-G2-G3. Two of them showed a thymine in position 52, like G2 strain, but the rest of sequences were completely identical to strain G1; also one specimen showed a single nucleotide change compared to strain G1 (C122T).
