Abstract EN
The cases of nine Polish patients with diagnosed cystic echinococcosis (CE) were examined.
A total of nine isolates obtained postoperatively were investigated using PCR and sequencing.
The mitochondrial region of nad1 gene was amplified.
This PCR and sequencing analysis revealed the presence of Echinococcus canadensis G7 in seven patients and E.
granulosus G1 in two patients.
These data demonstrate that E.
canadensis is the predominant causative agent of human cystic echinococcosis in Poland.
E.
granulosus G1 detection in Polish patients suggests that the parasite was imported; however it does not exclude the possibility that these cases could have been of Polish origin.
