Genetic variation of mitochondrial genes among Echinococcus multilocularis isolates collected in western China

Abstract Background Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a life-threatening human disease caused by Echinococcus multilocularis transmitted between rodents and dogs/foxes in the Northern Hemisphere. The study aims to identify the genetic variation of the parasite in AE patients from China. Methods E. mul...
