Abstract
Cystic hydatid disease (CHD), caused by Echinococcus granulosus is one of the most important zoonotic diseases, and is prevalent in different parts of Iran. With the aim of genotyping Echinococcus granulosus found in small intestine of stray dogs, 20 adult worms of E. granulosus were collected from 100 dogs from Mashhad in northeast of Iran. Adult worms were genetically characterized using PCR-RFLP analysis of ITS1 gene with the restriction endonuclease Bsh1236I. The present results have shown that all of 20 E. granulosus worms were determined as the G1-G3 strain. The nucleotide sequence of this genotype showed 99% homology with the G1 sequence. The presence of G1 genotype (sheep strain) of E. granulosus sensu stricto as dominant genotype in stray dogs in Mashhad in northeast of Iran is emphasized.
