Abstract

Abstract:

Echinococcosis is an important zoonotic parasitic disease caused by the metacestode stage larval of the genus Echinococcus. In China, it is mainly endemic in the western region. E. ortleppi is a unique specie of Echinococcus, due to its morphological and developmental characteristics, which are significantly different from that of E. granulosus. Its suitable intermediate host is cattle. Humans, pigs, camels, sheep, goats, lemurs and deers can be infected with E. ortleppi. In this review, the morphology, genetic variation, molecular genetic markers and epidemiology of E. ortleppi were summarized to provide a reference for epidemiological investigation, prevention and control and monitoring of echinococcosis.

Key words: Echinococcus ortleppi, Molecular genetic makers, Epidemiology
