Both alveolar (AE) and cystic echinococcosis (CE) are lacking pathognomonic clinical signs; consequently imaging technologies and serology remain the main pillars for diagnosis. The present study included 100 confirmed treatment-naïve AE and 64 CE patients that were diagnosed in Switzerland or Kyrgyzstan. Overall, 10 native spp.

Article Synopsis
- Alveolar and cystic echinococcosis (AE and CE) are increasing zoonotic diseases in Kyrgyzstan, largely caused by the parasites E. multilocularis and E. granulosus s.l., with high infection rates reported.
- A study analyzed 72 parasite samples (52 AE and 20 CE from humans, and 43 from dogs) to assess genetic variability, revealing 16 new variants of E. multilocularis and identifiable haplotypes that suggest a connection to previously studied populations in Kazakhstan and Alaska.
- Although E. multilocularis showed low genetic differentiation within Kyrgyzstan, significant differences were noted when compared to populations from China, while E. granulosus s.l. revealed
