Background: Cystic echinococcosis (CE) and alveolar echinococcosis (AE) are highly endemic in Xiji County of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region (NHAR) in China where the control campaign based on dog de-worming with praziquantel has been undertaken over preceding decades. This study is to determine the current prevalence of Echinococcus granulosus and E. multilocularis in domestic dogs and monitor the echinococcosis transmission dynamics.

- * Using PCR amplification of mitochondrial genes nad1 and cox1, researchers identified genetic variations in E. shiquicus, discovering at least six distinct haplotypes with minor differences in genetic sequences across the sampled population.
- * The research introduces a new PCR-restriction endonuclease technique to differentiate E. shiquicus from E. multilocularis, enhancing tools for epidemiological studies where these two species may coexist.
Background: Infections of Echinococcus granulosus sensu stricto (s.s), E. multilocularis and E.
