Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates ten genotypes of a parasite impacting its transmission to humans, focusing on identifying isolated hydatid cysts using a fast method called high-resolution melting point analysis (HRM).
- - Researchers analyzed 33 paraffin tissue samples from patients who had surgery in Iran, finding that 21 contained hydatid cyst DNA, primarily from sheep (G1 strain) and two from buffalo (G3 strain).
- - The results indicate that the G1 strain is the most common cause of hydatid cysts in humans, particularly affecting the liver and brain, and confirm that HRM is a reliable technique for identifying these strains quickly.
